Uncle Romeo and Aunt Carolyn were very special to me and to my husband Jack. I will remember them always and I believe they are now back together, as they should be.

Ro is the best neighbor we've ever had, we talk about him all the time even though we moved away 3 years ago, I will remember him always. He had a great life.

Mr. Mattia was a true gentleman. He always had a smile and a friendly word. I remember Mr. and Mrs. Mattia as a very loving--and fun-loving!--couple. I feel lucky that I grew up with the Mattia family as my neighbors.

Romeo was my crossing guard growing up and always knew how to put a smile on my face! He was always smiling, waving and asked how I was every single day. RIP to a very special person. We should all learn from him :)

Romeo was such a nice guy and friend of my Dad (Paul D'Ascensio- North Caldwell & the old 1st ward). He always had a friendly smile. May he rest in peace.
