I always wondered about your dad, I last saw him at my wedding on June 29 1991. I was so happy he came, and it made the day that much more special. Time passes so fast, and we never know where we will end up. I'm in Tucson AZ, and finally thought about looking your dad up, I'm so sorry for his passing but so BLESSED I knew your family! My mom, and dad are gone too, plus Eric, but I thank God for the childhood I had with you folks in it! Nothing but pure love for the Bonanno family!

I would like to send my condolences to Jeff, and the entire Bonanno Family. I knew Jeffrey, back in the Ace army Navy of Wall Street, Kingston day's, when Vince and I would check the machines, every Friday, or counting the take, from the games, with Jack. Those were some special, and wild times, however, I digress; The reason I send my thoughts and prayers, is that I remember, Jeff, and the Bonanno Family, that I met, back in the day, were always very nice to me, and each had a special spark of life, about them, and looking at the picture of Dad, not only is the Bonanno Family resemblance there, but also, now I know where that spark of life originated from. Well, in closing, I would just add, that, He lived a long fulfilled life, and now may he rest in God the Father's eternal peace.
