How can one forget the people who were in our lives when we were young and so impressionable. I remember all the fun we had at the Parrvecchio Picnics. Just recently found a photo he must have taken of all us there. I just turned 80...but I still remember Frank! And Aunt Luna, Aunt Lily and all their kids....

He wa often referred to Aunt Luna's son, Frank. ;) Maybe because aunt Lily had a Frank as well. My mother, Angie (Vincer) Gulatto always adored him because he was always cheerful, loveable and funny. I remember when I was going to shchool at Rockford Memorial seeing his photos and accolades were everywhere. You could always well where he was at the family picnic out at the Police Pistol Range.... He was a nice man, a good father, and he loved dhis kids and his wife beyond words. I'm proud to call him a cousin!!!

Dear Cousins,
Dawn and I were very sorry to hear about Uncle Chi Chi passing. He was the last of our parents generation. I will always have fond memories of our family get-togethers while growing up in Rockford. I also have fond memories of playing golf with him and uncle Benny many times when I came to Rockford each summer while living in Tulsa. I will always cherish those times........Mike & Dawn Schmidt

Dearest Manarchy Family--I remember that melodic, deep baritone voice and those jolly, chocolate brown eyes that twinkled when he smiled. He was so proud of all of you. I could see that even as young as I was when Paula invited me into your home. I will miss seeing him in church. I know he will be greatly missed by all of you! Parents are the glue that bonds the family together.

Dear Manarchy Family
I loved your dad. We worked at Highland Community College and of course my parents knew him very well. He was the sweetest man and always had a smile and a hug for me everytime I saw him. Just the sweetest man ever. I'm so sorry to hear of his passing. God Bless you all.

I remember your father (grandfather) very well as he often visited my grandmother, Mary (Parravecchio)Vincer and my mom Angie Gulatto.
He always called my parents and me as well "cus" as he did most everyone I can think of. I remember how proud the entire family was of his medical photography...I also remember it hanging in the lobby of Rockford Memorial. I saw him briefly not too long ago.
You have our deepest condolences.....
