To the world he was Vincenzo/Vince. To us, he was simply Dad, our only dad. As we gather and talk about him the first thing that comes to mind is how strong he was. Not just physically, but in the way he carried himself and took care of us all. He had the biggest heart; he accepted everyone no matter who you were or where you came from. If you were around him, you were family. That is just who he was.

He could talk your ears off, and he usually did but you did not mind, because he'd have you laughing the whole time. He had this way of making even ordinary moments feel special. From the time we were little, he showed us what hard work meant. He was up at the crack of dawn every single day without complaint. He worked hard to provide for us, and we never had to question if we came first, we always did.

We are so proud to be your wife, children and grandchildren. We will always carry the lessons you taught us, work hard, love your family, accept everyone, and dont forget to laugh along the way. That's the dad we will always remember.

Dad thank you for everything you've done for us, we love you, and we will miss you forever and always but will never be forgotten.
