Dear Phyliss and Family, Our hearts are broken. Carmen was not only an outstanding husband to you Phyl, but a great Father and Grandfather to the many kids that Jayne and I have had the pleasure to meet. He can only be in a better place and that is at the right hand of our Saviour Jesus Christ. He will be missed terribly.
Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you. He was a wonderful man, father, and friend.

Dear Phyllis and Family.
My heart goes out to you in this very difficult time. Carman was a very special person who will be greatly missed. I have sent many prayers to God on your behalf, and without a doubt I know our Lord and Saviour took Carman to be with Him in Paradise.
We hadn’t seen each other often through the years, but when I did see Uncle Carmen, he lit up the room. He was a beautiful, sweet, classy man. I will always appreciate and remember how good he was to my father (his brother Lou) hen he wasn’t well.
When he walked into my dad’s room, he lit up his life. My father loved his baby brother so very much. He was always in my father’s heart. I know they are all together in heaven.
God bless Uncle Carmen’s soul
and
God bless you, Aunt Phyllis, Carmen, Mike ,
Mark , and family
Carmen jr., My deepest condolences to you and the entire DelVecchio family. My thoughts and prayers are with you all, Sincerely.
