My deepest sympathy to the Buono Family. Bill was the definition of Husband, Father and Papa. Every time I was in his company he expressed his love for his family…. I thank him for loving my Daughter Gina, and Granddaughter Sophia the way he did. I will always remind "our" Sophia of her Papa and how much he loved her. I will miss our debates over which one of us could possibly love her more…..Rest in peace and love always.
Sorry for your loss.
Our Hearts our with you and wish love and peace to you and your family.
My thoughts & prayers go out to you & your entire family. Your dad was a great man sorry for your loss.
