Uncle Tony
Rest in Peace. There are so many memories to list. We remember all of the fun times going on trips to Niagara falls and Cedar Point with the kids, eating your Gnocchi's at holidays, your visits on Sunday to eat Spaghetti with my family, building the restaurant, the addition and the garage with my dad.
I enjoyed our shopping trips to the base and SHARP SHOPPERS, discussing what was on sale and getting food for you at bottom $ and Aldi's. Sorry we never made that last Sharp Shopper trip you wanted or the trip to get apples and eggs from the Amish on the way to Tionesta camp.
We enjoyed visiting at your "little place" in Canonsburg, your porch at the cabin, and especially these last few months talking on the phone, visiting wherever you may have been (hospitals, nursing homes and your sons home). Lastly, I will remember you at FSCR in your words "you have the best porch at camp" while we are sitting on our porch you built. Of course the "best uncle" built it.
It is time for you to rest with your family, your building days are over here.
We will all miss you.
We will think of you and the rest of our deceased family at Thanksgiving and be thankful of the time we all spent with you.
Until we meet again.
Love Niece Maryann & Nephew Tom Zarichansky
and the rest of the Abruzzi Family
