Don, life will never be the same without you here. I never thought it would end like this, but until reality set in that we realize the depth of it. All that you and I worked for left behind by you so unfair but not seeing you not having the quality of life was not what you wanted. We had a good life together from staying in New York city, Atlantic city and the many cruises and whatever else we desired to do. Happy you left with good memories to us. Along with leaving everything in order for us to carry out, it was done out of love for us. Brandon and Steven miss you and will forever hold in their heart what you taught them and lectured to them about. I miss you numerous phone calls (sometimes annoying) but we knew you always loved us and worried about us. We are now on our own s there was another plan for which we had no control over. I will always remember your words “Smile for me my Diane” along with Kenny Rogers music. Until we meet again, you are in my heart. Miss you terribly.
Love you! Diane

Grandpa, it’s been over 3 months since you took your last breath. I remember almost a year ago you were told you have cancer. I remember you always saying “I’m going to best this” but sadly almost 8 months later it sadly beat you. I remember seeing the fear in your eyes and voice but up until your last day you never let me worry about you or be sad. Multiple times on the phone you said “you and your brother are all I have left in this world” and that regardless what you were going through you always made sure I was okay. Every time I came to visit you, you always said “I love seeing you come but I hate seeing you go” I never knew what you meant by that because I always made it an attempt to see you as much as I can. But now I know exactly what you meant, I hated seeing you go and I felt so much sadness seeing you in pain and suffering. You were always someone who did everything and always went above and beyond to provide for his family. I have many memories and stories with you I will cherish forever. Every time I came to see you in Florida we always went to the tool store and you always had some coupon you were using for free batteries or a flash light. I still remember this story when many many years ago you were dropping me off at Philadelphia airport when I was visiting you in new Jersey. We were going through security and you were wearing suspenders. I remember when the machine was going off because you had them off and the security officer made you take them off. After you telling them your pants will fall down they still made you take them off. Well when you did your pants fell in front of everyone. It was a story we both laughed at for a while. These are stories I rather remember then in the end when you were in pain. The picture of me in uniform was December of 2019 and December of 2020 you went home to heaven, crazy what 1 year can do. Every time I came to Florida you were always wearing the orange south beach shirt and you were always so happy to see me but again sad to see me leave. The picture showing you standing next to grandma’s car was a bet that we couldn’t get a hot water heater to fit in that car but we did. I had a lot of great times with you and I truly hope you are looking down and watching over me. Thank you for all you have done and don’t ever forget us. I can now tell you I’m sad to see you go. I can’t wait to see you in heaven and you can introduce me to your parents who you always spoke amazing things about. I still have the last voicemail you left on my phone. In the end you said “I worry about you guy” I will cherish those words forever, you always put your family before yourself. You were a great father, friend, husband and friend to everyone. I hope you Rest In Peace

Dad... It’s been three months (91 days to be exact) since you were called home..It feels like you have been gone forever... but then, when I receive a text message or phone call, I assume it’s from you, asking me why I’m still at work or reminding me to wear a mask...but the messages from you do not come anymore... I then realize you are really gone. The feeling of emptiness, the fact we will never have another conversation again and knowing you will never call me again to see how I’m doing is so unimaginable. I go through the motions of getting through each day, but it’s a struggle. I took it for granted that you would always be there; that your time here would be longer. You accomplished so many projects and were eager to do more, but then you had to leave us. I’m so grateful that God gave you eighty good years of life, but I’m distraught that we weren’t able to spend more time together. You were a great dad, a hard worker and you were always there when I needed you, except for now.. I don’t want to be selfish, but I miss you and it doesn’t get any easier with each passing day. You fought hard up until the end. You were with me when I took my first breath of life and I was there when you took your last. I hope you have happily reunited with all those who went before you, but please don’t forget about us down here. Let me know if you need anything, I’ll take care of it for you, just as you have done for me throughout my life.. Love you always... :)

Thinking of Don and remembering the times he would just stop by when he was on Staten Island after he moved to NJ. He was on the island to go to the dentist or doctor. He came by to have a cup of coffee and visit with his brother and me. We would catch up on all the latest in our lives. We treasure those and many other special memories.
Love for always,
Nancy

Donald was always my big brother. We shared so many special occasions and holidays together over the years with wonderful memories. He was a devoted family man. He was always organized and prepared for any emergency. If you ever needed anything, he had it in his glove compartment or trunk. Living far apart these last few years made it difficult to get together. I will always love and miss him. Until we meet again,
Love for always,
William

I'll miss knowing Don was just a few miles away. I'll miss his voice which so reminded my of my New York family.
He was my "big" cousin and we shared many family stories together. We just ran out of time. I know he's being well taken care of by our family that's gone on before him.
