Dear Zio Antonio.

I first met you as a 2 year old when my parents migrated from Italy to Adelaide, Australia. Back then I was so shy, and always remember how you would pick me up on it, hehe. We had so many memorable get togethers including Christmas, Easter, birthdays or just because as were family.

You then took the family to the USA 10 years later and we lost contact.
Whilst I have many memorable memories of you, the one that stood out the most was when I came to Philadelphia Airport in 2004. As you can see by the photo you squeezed my hand, hugged me so hard and was on top of the world. It was almost as though I was a long lost son that you thought you would never see me again. We both had tears of joy and this that special memory that I will never forget.
So I am deeply saddened on your passing and extend my sincerest condolences to Zia Gina, Roma, Robbie and their families. Love will always keep us together.
Rest in Peace Zio Antonio(Kangaroo or sometimes known as Skippy...the bush Kangaroo).
