Uncle Carmine, I will miss you. I have been disassociated from the family since my teens however, I have so many fond memories and have always be warmly welcomed back in the fold whenever I visited. I have rode miles on my bike to visit and experience this family warmth when I was a kid because you and Aunt Holly were special. I was privileged to have you and your family in my life. My heart and prayers to everyone during this time of grief and loss. Bless you all and lots of love.
