Papa, Thank you for being the best Father in the whole wide word. I enjoyed every second being with you. I loved watching Clint Eastwood movies with you, landscaping with you, driving in the Catalina going to Mid-Island Mall on Sundays, Bayville Arcade, and most of all going to Great Adventure with you. It was cool to sit next to you on Free Fall to see your reaction. You didn’t grow up riding roller coasters so for me to see you on one, it brought me so much joy to watch you on the roller coaster. I was happy when you were happy and enjoying your life. I loved when I went hunting with you, going to the farm to pick tomatoes and peppers, making the tomato sauce. You took the time on your one day off to take me out east to ride my motorcycle many times. I had you all to myself for that moment and I am blessed for that. Papa, you were such a gentle man. I remember how you went into the backyard with your camera. You would walk up to a flower, hold the flower so gently with one hand and take a picture of the flower with your other hand. You admired the beauty of a flower so much that you wanted to capture a picture of it. You would say, look how God makes such a beautiful flower. And you would stop to admire a bird when it stopped in our backyard. I saw how you loved Nature. Look how God makes the trees and makes the plants grow you would say. You would cut a flower from the garden and put it in water and place it on our kitchen table for us to see. You were such a thoughtful person. With the little free time you had, You were the one person I knew in life that actually stopped to smell the roses. Towards the end, you loved going to Pribil’s Beach to look at the water and I loved being there with you to see how peaceful you were for a moment. Whenever I see the beach, or a flower, or a bird, or anything blue, your favorite color, I will think of you Papa. I will see you in all of God’s beautiful creations. Papa, you were always there for me. You taught me everything I know. I would be nothing without you. You are the man I hope to be. Thank you for being so genuine, giving and so good hearted and loving and understanding. I miss you and I’m so blessed to have spent such precious moments with you. I’m honored to call you Papa. Thank you for everything. You’re the best. Rest in peace and once you’re done resting Papa, have fun in Heaven. You deserve it. Save a place for us so we can all have fun together again like we used to. I love you Papa. Love Marco.

Papa you were the best Father we could of ever asked for. You sacrificed your life and worked day and night to provide for us. You were the least selfish person I have ever met. You always put your family first and taught us the right and wrong things in life. Thank you for everything you ever did for us. There is no other man like you on this earth. You were a great man and Father to me and I thank you for everything. You couldn’t of done anymore or done any better raising us.You did a great job. We will miss you forever. We hope you are finally resting in peace now and no longer feeling any pain or suffering, Your spirit will live on through me and my sons. I hope to see you in heaven one day again.We love you Papa. Love always your son Davide,Trish,Michael and Joseph
