We always knew him as uncle fat, never knew why we called him that because he never was fat. He was a really nice uncle who always spoiled us as children, he used to take naps on the couch of his home and the coins would fall out of his pockets and deeply into the cushions. When he woke up he would tell me and my brother Russell that whatever we found in the cushions we could keep. We loved that. And he used to let us put the Ottoman on its side and roll on it which was also a lot of fun. I will always have fond memories of him. May you rest in peace my dear sweet uncle. ❤ Norma (Drolet) DiLorenzo
