To all the Ferrara Family, We have known from childhood that Mr Ferrara was a respected man in every way. Mostly as a devoted, caring and loving father that was never, not there always in all ways for each of his children especially, but also was good and decent to all. As the devoted husband he also was, he is where he needed to be, with his life’s partner and wife. They are truly at peace together again. With our greatest sympathy, Mark and Sandy
