Bonnie – I’m saddened to hear of the passing of your Dad. Remembering him from the neighborhood, what a nice man he always was. Thankfully, I still have people that keep me posted on most things going on back home. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Dan always was so proud of his dad and how he kept so active in life, he would play in a small band, go out with friends, and remain very active and full of life ! I remember the dance that M/M Marone had at Dan’s wedding and both of Dan’s parents were so talented on the dance floor together! to the remembrance of a great life Horace Marone!
Horace was an amazing Man and one of the truest friends anyone could ask for. He had a way of making everyone feel special when he spoke to them. We will always admire Horace for his intelligence, his integrity, his passion for music and sports and his limitless capacity for Love. Our sincere sympathy to his wonderful family – he was so full of joy and love in your presence. We all miss Horace and his beautiful smile. Love – Gilmore Family – Marilyn Uberti’s Daughter
