My thoughts and prayers are with all of you during this difficult time. Steve-your eulogy was very touching and beautiful. I wish I had the strength to do the same for my dad ten years ago.
I have fond memories of family picnics at your house...your mom's meatballs were the best!
Your cousin, Maria

Joey, Steve, Johnny, Danny, Anthony and Dario,

My brother Joe, your father, was the best brother a girl could have. Growing up, we were not only siblings, we were best friends. I can still call up the sound of his voice asking, Jeet yet Mar, to which I would answer, No, Jew Joe. And off we'd go to some diner and talk about everything, our family, our friends, and our hopes and dreams. He was the best. I was lucky to be his sister.

Pop was a very kind and sentimental man. He enjoyed telling us all stories of the family. He is a man who loved his sons and he was proud of them. He was a loving Grandfather to his many grandchildren. He will truly be misssed.
