Your dad was a dear friend of my brother Aldo and I was like a big sister not only to my brother but to all his friends, we have visited him and Elda in Michigan and we will miss our many phone calls, but the memories will not be forgotten. So glad that we could attend his service today, and our deepest condolences. Madeline and Jolly Brown
