Dad, I love you so much. I miss you like crazy. Everyone has been forced to grow up real quick and I am so proud of all of my brothers and sisters. Life has been so hard without you. I am thankful for all my brothers and sisters, we help each other get through all the hard days by reminding each other of all the memories we had with you. So, I went to Wildwood this past summer, at first I cried when I got there, but then I felt you with me and remembered all the memories I had there with you. I miss you more than words can tell. The pain continues and the heartache is still there. I love you, always have, always will. You will be forever in my heart and prayers.
love always,
Tara

Well daddy its getting colder out again. Its that constant reminder that you are gone; at least from earth. I know you are still with me and i just ask you for the strength. I love you dad so much and although i would love to say its getting easier, its not; it never will. Ive had more good days then bad lately, but the bad days are truly bad. As you can see a lot of things have took a turn for the worst. Im with an amazing guy who i am going to marry, tara and chuck are doing well, tony's going to college as well as michelle and I. Tina and nicole are doing well too. I love you daddy give grandma, grandpa, and uncle joe a kiss for me. Talk to you soon.

daddy its been over a year now and the pain isn't getting any easier. tara and chuck got married but i know you saw. Our family hasn't been the same either. actually it has fallen apart. I miss you so much daddy and its not fair you were taking away from me. I feel like with you around my knowledge always expanded and there were no limits as to what i could do. I knew i could never mess up bad enough, because you were always there to bail me out. I hope everything is great in heaven. Please look over all of us and know that no matter how far away you are from me, i will always love you.

Dad,
Well, we all still struggle with the fact that you are gone, nothing seems the same. Planning our wedding seems like something big is missing, an emptiness, it's you. Angelo just keeps getting bigger and smarter by the day, he has quite the personality!!! Mom misses having you around her all the time. You always said we would miss you, well hate to tell you that you were right, but you were. You were right about a lot of things. Well now you are our guardian angel, watch over everybody and give mom the strength to keep going everyday. We love you so much! Miss you tons!!
love always,
Tara

Dad,I miss you so very much.You taught me everything i know. Even though you thought i never paid attention to you, I always did.And if i didnt, i would always ask nicole later what you meant.She would put it the same way you would.It will never be the same without you. I miss your phone calls about dani in chicago. Although i never understood why you said it..i always played along and told you i was burning the city down. And you would leave messages saying you were joey the chief of the fire co of chicago and you wanted me to cut the bull and tell you who started the fires.Whatever dad that will always be a mystery..I love you a lot dad..we all miss you.I will never forget your one saying to me "Dan you dont have as many friends as you think..ask them all for five bucks and see whose still your friend" you always had a way of being up front..but i loved it.I know its not goodbye..and we will all see eachother one day..I love you daddy..thanks for 19 wonderful years.Love Dani from Chicago..the fires still burning.

Goodnight our dear son-in- law, things won't be the same anymore. I'll miss your phone calls when you felt you had a problem. I'll always miss the flower man. Happy that we were able to be a close family with you. Love you and we will always miss you. Meet us both on the other side of the heavenly bridge. God bless you.
Love,
Nanny and Pop

Dad, you were my best friend. Anyone who knows you, knows that I was your little side kick. Always driving around in the mini vans looking for someone to have a laugh with. You taught me things that most girls will never know in a lifetime. You spoke the truth about everything, never once caring how people might take it. Through that you earned many people's respect. Dad I always loved you so much, and things will never be the same again. I still look for you every day, thinking that I can't wait to tell you about what happened, and what should I do, and then I cry when I realize reality. Then I think of you and smile, for I already have the answers to what I wanted to tell you. We spent so much time together that I am basically a spitting image of you. Thank you for the memories and for loving all of us as much as you did. No man will ever compare to you, they just don't exist.
Love your little girl

Dad,
I miss talking about all the old days on the farm with you, telling jokes, talking politics, garden talk, and all the projects that you always came up with. You always were kind, willing to help with whatever you could. I'm sorry that you won't be there to see when I marry your wonderful daughter. You were always there to give advice and lend an ear. I will always remember you sharing your life stories and showing me where you came from in nj. I also remember when we went to the shore, I was walking around with my shit kickers and shorts and you called me the crocadile hunter. After that, I invested in a pair of water shoes so I would blend in.(redneck went to the shore for the first time) I ordered my first Chinese food delivery and tony videoed it and everyone laughed and harrassed me all night, I was the movie star, remember? You taught me how to look for the big shells underwater at 5:30 am. Our shore trips will never be the same without you. You will always be in our thoughts and prayers. You are a wonderful father in law, I love you and you will truly be missed.
your son in law,
Chuck

Dad,
I can't begin to explain how much we all miss you. Days just don't seem to be the same without you. Everything you have always taught all of us will be instilled for the rest of our lives. You always had a point to every story and definately an answer to every question. I always dreaded this day because I knew it was inevitable, but I never imagined just how hard it would be. I hope that you will be watching over all of us, through good and bad times, guiding us like you always did. I'll never forget all the wonderful memories with you. You were the rock of our family....strong and supportive. The one thing that I always loved about you is all the joking around that you did, but always appologetic if you felt you really hurt anybody. The way I always described you was rough around the edges and soft inside. You were never materialistic, but always giving. You were always sure to tell me, "Tara, you have a heart of gold and don't let anyone ever change that. a lot of people will try, but don't let them." I admit I'm not sure at this point why this happened at this point in our lives, it was too soon and too sudden and I keep asking myself repeatedly, why?
It's just so hard to accept but I keep telling myself and everyone he's looking down on us and we will make it through. He always taught us to stick together and stay strong for one another. I know it's going to be a very bumpy road ahead of us, but we will always miss you dad. You always told us to keep God in our lives and that's what I'm doing. I'm not quite sure how I'm supposed to walk down the aisle without you, but I'm trying to stay strong like I know you always wanted me to. I'm happy I found a wonderful guy that you had the opportunity to meet and he asked your permission to marry me and you were thrilled. I know you loved him too because you always told me to hang onto him,there aren't many guys like him around anymore. I know you had a rough life, but somehow wherever you went, your goal was to make someone smile. I'll never forget you dad, you will always be in my heart and you will live on forever. You are going to the grave with many accomplishments, a fantastic father and a wonderful husband. Rest in peace dad and one day we will all be reunited. I love you always and forever.......... Love, Tara

My husband, my lover, my friend. The loss of you saddens my deeply. You were always there for me, you were a great man. You were also a devoted father. You gave me wonderful children that I will always treasure. We had a wonderful life together. You will never be forgotten. You are my soulmate, there will never be another you. Rest in peace, I love you.

So we gather here today to celebrate my fathers entry way into heaven. I guess that’s way I look at it so I can deal with it a little easier and then I know he is ok. Daddy, You can finally reunite with your family, I’m sure your mother was waiting there at the gates for you with open arms.
My father was a great man, a little understood at times, but as I got older I completely understood everything he used to tell me. He was man of his word and he taught me to be the same kind of person. He had a tough exterior, but such a gentle interior. He would do anything to help anybody and was a very honorable person. He would give a stranger that shirt off his back if he knew he needed it! You enjoyed the finer things in life but also knew how to enjoy the simple things as well! Also If one of my sister’s or I happened to be dealing with one of our many crisis’s of the week (which seemed to be the end of our world at the time) the man could somehow always find humor in it to make us laugh J
He gave you his advice whether you wanted to hear it or not and always gave you his true point of view even if it hurt. My father was tough on us kids at times, but it was only so we would be strong enough to handle ourselves in the real world, so I thank you for that Daddy.
... See More
You were a devoted husband and I know you loved my mother very much and with all your heart, I never questioned your love for her, and I hope to one day find a man who is exactly like you, perhaps that’s why I’ve held out so long to get married.
I’m so happy that I got the chance to see you be a grandfather to my son Angelo and I will always keep the memories of you two alive in my mind for all of eternity. You were a terrific grandpa and I wish you could have hung out a little bit longer so Angelo could remember you a little more, but ill always speak of you to him and keep you alive in memory.
I love your fashion sense and I loved the way I inherited your thought process as I became older, I love the way we could look at a picture and then say the same exact thing at the same exact moment. But most of all I just LOOVVVEDD u and that kind heart of yours!
ME MYSELF, I believe you knew you weren’t feeling well for sometime now that I think about it, but I think you kept it from us so we wouldn’t worry the way you knew we all would, You are our rock Daddy, so strong, so dependable, so loving, I’ve never quite met such a beautiful man like you.
So I ask everyone in this room today to stay strong, the way my father would want us to be, and stick together as a family no matter what, the way he has always kept us,
Daddy until we meet again, I LOVE YOU SO VERY MUCH and Angelo does too!
You Will Always be in my prayers and I know you’ll still always be around to protect us
all, until we meet again daddy I LOVE U for Always and Forever !!!!!!!!
AMEN
