Dear Dad,

I can't believe your not going to be here anymore, I am going to miss you so much. From the first day Joey introduced my to the family you always made me feel like I was always a part of the family not a new daughter in law. You were there whenever Joey or I needed you, you made out house a home and made it always look nice, whether you were painting, drywalling or fixing something by us or someone we knew. You had the biggest heart I have ever seen. I'm sorry I didn't get to say good bye and tell you how much I love you, so I'm telling you now Dad I'm going to miss you and I love you very much. You may be gone but you will never be forgotten. Love you, Michele

Dear Aunt Alice, so sorry to hear of Uncle Babe's passing. All my love is with you and your family. I'm sure he and Mom are "discussing" the Cubs vs. Sox and which is the better team. Love, Your niece Sally

Babe Pontarelli was my Godfather as well as my fathers brother. For thoes of you who did not know him I am here to tell you that one of this worlds most unselfish people has left us. Wether it was cutting the neighbors grass, fixing someones broken pipes or fulfilling a promise to a good friend that he would look after his widow when he passed away many,many years ago he always put everyone ahead of himself. In my lifetime I have not met many people like "Uncle Babe". I will treasure all of my memories with him and will remember him often. He is now with the rest of his family more than likely starting the card game back up. so long Unc...give 'em all a big kiss and a hug for us.

I have many pictures of my uncle, anyone requesting a copy please e-mail me and I would be happy to e-mail you a copy.
