Nonno was Susan's everything. Daddy, I love you. Thanks for always being there. I will always love you and keep you in my heart till we meet again.
Nonno was Heather's hero. He taught me unconditional love. I was his number one bambino and his number one girl. He was at every field hockey and cheerleading event. He gave me the family secret for roasted red peppers.
Nonno was Stephanie's everything. No matter if there was rain or shine he was always at my softball and cheerleading games, gymnastics and dance when I was little. His favorite cheer was "Scared" and he would do it with me. I was the only one he gave Nana Guzzi's secret recipe for gravy and meatballs.
Brandon was Nonno's only grandson and he loved having a grandson. He took me golfing and taught me how to putt. He taught me how to hit a baseball and how to pitch.
All three of us loved going to his house and having a midnight snack on the couch. He was Santa Claus every year and everywhere we went, everyone knew him and loved him. We will miss him but his golden heart will live in our hearts forever. We love you Nonno!
