UCK ,In my eyes you were the Dad that was taken away from me at a young age. R.I.P, ,Give Aunt Marie a Hug for me.

He was so generous and caring. I will miss him
Very much. R.I.P Uncle Dan p
I am so sorry for your loss. Death is perhaps the saddest thing we face in this world. The only comfort we have is the hope the Bible gives us for the future, where God promises that soon “All those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out,” (John 5:28) and we will be reunited with our loved ones that have fallen asleep in death. We can be rest assured that soon Jehovah God will wipe out death forever, as 1 Corinthians 15:26 tells us, “The last enemy, death, will be brought to nothing.”
Unc, thank you for all you did for all those years.
Rest easy. I love you. Janet
Danny and Lynn I always liked visiting your Dad in the jewelry store, he was a wonderful warm hearted man, he’s with your mom now, my sympathy to your families. Love, Cathy.
What a wonderful person he was – so kind and generous! We lost a gem – I will miss him!!
I was saddened to hear of your father’s passing. When I told my mother, Mary Cestaro, age 99, she was shocked that “young” Dante was gone. Please accept our sincere condolences. I hope your memories of your times together will help you heal.
LAURIE and I are very sorry to hear about your loss of Dante. Remembering the very special moments of his life will help the grieving.
With prayers
Joe and Laurie
Dear Dan, Laurie, Lynn & Family, We are so very sorry for your loss. May happy memories comfort you. Sincerely, Freddi & Wayne
