Me and Pai after we finished painting my loft together this Fall! He had it built for me and helped move it into my room at school. He was so proud when it was finished! (We aren't looking our best in this photo, it was about 1 am when we finished!)

Dear Pai,

I don’t even know what to say because I didn’t expect to be doing this for many many years. I was always worried about you, especially whenever I was away for long periods of time, but everyone always reassured me saying things like, “Your father’s built like an ox; He’s definitely going to be around until he’s well past 100.” You made sure everyone knew you were strong, especially any boys your daughters brought home. You never let on when you were tired or hurt or sad or anything. You wanted everyone who cared about you to think that you were made of steel so we could go to you to fix anything and everything. I knew you could fix anything, which is why you were the one to go to even if it was just to put a band-aid on a cut and tell me that you don’t feel any pain when complain. I’ll never forget how frustrated I’d get when I’d tell you I’m thirsty and you say, “I’m Friday.” You knew how to make anyone feel better.

I hope you know how much you are loved and needed. Some of my friends loved you more than some of their own family members. Your heart was too big to turn down any stray, and I’m sure at least ½ of the people in this area have lived in our house and been touched by you in some way. People who’ve only met you once have said that you were an amazing father because if they didn’t know you well enough, they heard it from someone else. You loved selflessly; you would do anything you could to make those you loved happy. You made an impact on everyone you ever met. You always made sure to make time for everyone else, even if it meant giving up sleep or food. I can’t remember ever going without something I needed.

I truly believe that you were the best father there ever was; no one could ever compare to you. I admire you so much. I have always made sure to tell everyone I meet how amazing my Pai is and how proud I am of him. I got into RPI partly because of the essay I wrote about you. I try so hard to be like you, even without realizing sometimes. So many people have told me I’m like a clone of you. I’m always late, I try to stuff everyone I love with food, I’m stubborn, I’m sensitive (without always showing it, though I often fail at that), I can relate to and befriend almost anyone, I love to tell stories, I refuse to fail at anything I start; I even breath loudly and sometimes fall asleep sitting up. I’m hoping that someday I will learn to worm as hard as you did, and to be as loving and generous as you were. I will miss everything about you.

I don’t know what I am going to do without you. I’ve told many that this was my worst fear. I’ve wanted so badly for you and Mommy to see me succeed, to graduate from a school you were so proud to tell everyone your daughter attends, to marry and have your grandchildren, to do anything and everything to make you proud.

I don’t know what I will do without you to walk me down the aisle and dance with me at my wedding. I will never be able to show my children how great of a man and father you were. Graduating and being successful in life will not seem as meaningful. You don’t have to worry though because I will still do all of this. You WILL be proud of me. I have thought about you everyday of my life, and I always will. I will never stop trying to be just like you. You will always be loved and remembered by everyone. I miss you already, and I love you so much.

Love,

Carminha

P.S. Read Shannan's letter below! I didn't put mine up right away because I didn't want to go over it!

To Carlos,

I always considered you my Pai. Ever since I can remember from my youth, we had an unexplainable father-daughter connection (I still want that DNA test somehow). I don't remeber this but you always told me that you bought my first pair of boots, Mom sometimes said it too.

I remember bits and peices of my childhood, adolescence and now adulthood and every memory includes you. As I look through the pictures of our family, more and more that you have done for us comes back to me. My first yellow bike, Birthday parties(the best cakes), different trips (Grafton every weekend, Niagara Falls, etc.), the "special" cookies and cupcakes from Bella Napoli, basketball games, and so many other things that I will never forget.

We had our good times and some bad, but the bad must have not been that bad because I cannot remeber even one.

You shaped and molded me into the strong, independent, and caring woman that I am today.

I will be honored to take on the responsibility of reuniting and keeping together our family and wish I would have done so sooner. We will take care of Mom, but I don't know what she is going to do without her best friend. I was so proud to say that both my parents were still together. I always use to say how cool it was that my parents spent 24 hours a day together and still somehow never got sick of one another...that's true love :).

So many people will be looking for your guidance and I know you will be there like you always were. It is true when people say that they thought you would outlive everyone...you were supposed to be here forever...to see me graduate in May, to watch Dylan grow up, to see Carmen graduate and get married, to see Erin graduate, to take care of Alexi and be her male role-model, and to live in the house with Mom that you worked so hard on. I know that you will still see all that though.

I also know that you weren't sure about Cliff when you gave me away to him, but I knew you approved(he was the only boyfriend of mine that you didn't torture). You will never be replaced but I just know that Cliff will be honored to fill your shoes. He is a quiet version of you and I'm proud to have him by my side.

Thank you for being my Pai always and forever. You will always be on my mind. When you left you gave a peice of your character and heart to each and everyone that was in in your life. For me you left your determination, hard working characteristic, and the knack for caring about people(I wish I got your sense of humor). I will miss you here and I don't think I ever got to tell you that "I love you"...always did and always will.

Love Shannan

PS please wake me up form this nightmare...

Carmen-

My sympathies and prayers are with you, your Mom and family at this sad time. Pai was an icon, the cornerstone of the family, always there for you and losing him will be especially difficult to deal with. You’re such a sweetheart! So good, kind and loving to everyone you come in contact with, just like your Pai. He’d help anyone who needed assistance, never ask for anything in return and accepted people for themselves. His unfailing good humor, boundless strength, faith in God, and positive outlook on life are all qualities that I see in you too. Pai will always be in your heart and live forever in your memories.

With much love always-

Cheryl Liburdi

Dear Debbie and family,

I am so shocked and saddened at the sudden loss of Carlos. Somehow, I always thought he would outlive all of us. I have known Carlos almost all of my life. He always enjoyed ribbing people and trying to get their goat, but that was Carlos. Once he made you a friend, you stayed his friend for a lifetime and he yours. He has helped so very many people and never expected anything in return. I know at this time there are no words that can ease the pain of his passing. Just be comforted by all the people whose lives he's touched in his brief time here. My heart and love goes out to all of you. Carlos was one in a million. God bless you, Carlos.

(Carlos) Debbie and family

Carlos,

I just want to thank you for all you have done for my family. I have known you for almost 30 years and you were always there with your advise, whether I wanted it or not. When I was having a hard time you were there for my family. I thank you for giving Suzie a chance and making her graduate from high school, even if it meant threatening her with a glass of ice water over her head. You were there for her and the rest of us and I will always remember you for that. I will always remember our early morning phone calls about her and how we would let off steam. You did so much for her and I will always appreciate what you and Debbie did. I hope someday I can be as good a person as you. I'll miss our chats and although you were always right, I never liked to admit it. I only wish Isaiah and Evan got to know you like the rest of us. You will be missed by many and I look forward to the day we can chat again.

Debbie and girls,

I will always be there for you and if you need me, all you need to do is call.

Love,

Dawn Dressel

With much love,

Bettina and family,

My deepest sympathies to you and your family.

I never meet your father, but if he was anything like you, I'm sure he was a wonderful person.

Life sends us both wonderful and sorrowful times. Stay strong and remember the wonderful times.

My Pai when he was 26...what a hunk!

To my father, Pai,

I love you very much. I wish life was such that we had spent more time together. You left us all too soon. I am so sad and full of pain. I have lost an important part of me.

We fought and we loved. Through it all I know you loved me and you knew I loved you. I told you all the time and I will never stop saying it to you. When I close my eyes I see you standing there giving me one of "those" smiles just to get me going.

I will miss calling you at 5am, the best time to talk to you when you weren't running around cooking or sleeping. I will miss calling you to help me cook something. I will miss inviting you to my kids events.

I will miss saying I love you as I hugged and kissed you.

You will forever be in my heart and thoughts.

I can't believe you are gone.

Betinha

To the family of Carlos-

Nothing is harder than saying good-bye to someone you love.

May you find peace & comfort in your loving memories.

Sorrow looks back,

Worry looks around,

But faith looks up.
