Joanne.whenever I see a zucchini I will think of your dad. Remember when we stopped at your parents' house and you said take some zucchini and I took a few. And you said take some more and I did not know that you really wanted me to take the whole batch.
That there were so many zucchinis to be shared was an indication of your dad's farming skills and his generosity in sharing the bounty.

A very special man that had a very gentle way about him. I learned so much from him about technical things, life and how to be a good person. God bless Mr. Laurenza, my best friend's father.
