...and Johnny did so much good for so many ...
He is and always will be a legend to the people he has met. His intelligence, love, smile, jokes, stories, accomplishments, devotion to his family and so much more, will be truly missed. I will miss him, we all will miss him but he will always stay in our hearts.

Our deepest condolences to all of you, Linda, Jenny, Julie, Gennaro and families.
We love you, Kimberly, Stefanie, Julia and Dounia

Giovanni was a wonderful family man, although I didn't see you much in the last few years I know, from being friends with Jenny and Julie for such a long time how special a person you were and how much you were loved by all of your family. I send the deepest condolences to all of the family during this difficult time. All my love Luciana
