Caro Momo, we were happily married for 71 years, but I have known you for most of my life, having grown up together in the same town. You were always a kind and loving man to me, we shared a deep and sincere love for each other that cannot be described in words. The hole you have left in my heart will remain forever. Your loving wife, Caterina.

Dad, you were a gentle, peace loving, kind man, that would always be available to help. You were very respectful and cared deeply for us all. Family was everything to you. You loved to have us all around for celebrations and you will be deeply missed by all of us. Love you Pop. Peter and Antoinette.

Nonno, when you left us, you took a piece of our hearts with you. You were always selfless, everything you did, you did for us. You loved a family celebration and a photo opportunity and we are so blessed to be left with all those special memories to look back on and remember the happy times we spent together. Thank you for everything you have done for us, your advice has been invaluable, your generosity has touched our hearts and your love for life will stay with us forever. We miss you. Katherine, Pawel, Jeremy, Lisa, Sienna, Oliwer, Aleksia, Eva and Isabelle.

You gave so much

and asked so little.

You were a person

with a heart of gold, memories of you

we will treasure and hold.
