My family and I are so,so sorry for your grave loss and that we weren't aware of your dads passing until the services had passed. He was such a strong and strong willed man who knew the difference between right and wrong. There were no grey areas with him. I learned a lot from the brief conversations that i had with your dad throughout the years and whenever i tried ti skate around a topic, he quickly set me straight. our hearts go out to you.

Deeply regret for you loss and for the removed hope to hug you again. We already miss you so much, and there remains only the possibility to remember you forever. You may not be listed neither in the history books nor in the yearbooks, but you still played a significant role in community life of people from Fontegreca in Providence, and in ours. For those who know the remoteness and emigration, they know how important is a reference, a support, an encouragement or just a simple smile. You have been that for so many people: from older to younger, in the family or closer relatives, friends or acquaintances. Not disdaining the host country, you kept in your heart your Italian spirit and especially the spirit of Fontegreca, which resurfaced on any occasion and even forming a " Fontegreca Club", unique in the world. We are proud to have known you and , we consider ourselves very fortunate. Thanks for everything. Now that you went along for your last journey, just the memory of your bright and engaging smile, your joke and your joy can comfort and stay with us. We are sure, you will continue to follow us from up there. We pray for your soul and whole your dear family.
