Dad – words cannot even express the amount of loss and sadness we feel . You left us too soon . We will miss you infinitely. We love you

Grandpa, it will not be the same without you. You are the staple to our family and I can not thank you enough for all of the great times we had together. Thank you for all the support through all of my never ending adventures. You never missed a game or a police graduation. Could always count on looking up into the stands (sun, rain, snow) and seeing
you up there cheering me on. I am so glad you were able to meet Mila and Maisie. Dina and I love you very much and know you will always be around. Now you can watch my work stories first hand because I know you will be watching down protecting me and the rest of the family. Love you Gramps and as you would always say “Roll it Brotha!”

Grandpa/GPA/gramps,
You are going to be missed by everyone. You are so special, caring, loving, hilarious, hardworking, and exemplified what family really means. I loved spending time with you. Whether it was just you and I playing volleyball in the pool, watching the Yankee games (even though many have been stressful over the years) or you gram and i going to get something to eat or drink. Joe DiMaggio once said “I want to thank the Good Lord for making me a Yankee”. I would say I want to thank the Good Lord for you gramps. I hope that you can send some luck to the Yanks over these next couple years. I am going to miss watching games with you but I know you will be with me. We are going to miss you so much. Thank you for everything you have done for our family, it will never go unnoticed. Family first.

Grandpa, I never met my other grandpa so you were my only grandpa that I knew. Whenever I walked into your house I would always say “Hey Grandpa” and shake your hand. You would reply “Hey Al”. You were the only one who said Al more than Alex. I remember when I would sit next to you and watch football, Judge Caprio or Bar Rescue. You would ask me “Wanna watch something?” and I would always reply “No thanks Grandpa” and you would say your casual “Okay”. You would always let me and my friends come over to swim in the pool and have my birthdays at your house every year. One thing I liked to remind myself is that our birthdays are six months apart. One time when we were outside siting near the fishpond I would ask you so many questions and you would answer all of them. We would also talk about sports, schools or how our day was. I was so proud every day to know my grandpa was a marine who fought in the Korean War. You would always come to my cross country or track meets and I was so happy to see you every time. You would ask me “Did you come in first again?”. One of my favorite songs is My Way because of you. You taught me how to play solitaire. When I first started to learn Italian I remember you taking to someone else in Italian and you let me chime in if I understood. I’m going to miss seeing you in your chair and talk to you whenever I come over. To sum it all up you were the best grandpa to not just me but to all of your grandkids. Gonna miss you. Love ya.

condolences to the whole family from Italian relatives …

Grandpa, I don’t think there was anyone who hasn’t looked up to you. Your jokes and laughs always ignited the room with happiness. And you never failed to make anyone laugh. You were such a strong role model to me. You never missed a hockey or soccer game. The support you always showed for me will truly be missed. I’ll always carry along the memories we shared. Thank you for everything, I miss you. Rest easy

dad i miss you every single second of every single day xoxo lee
