Dear Cucci Family,



Our deepest sympathy in the loss of a loved one. We lost our father Anthony M. Guarino in Oct. 2003, and it's still hard to believe he's gone. Our grandfather was Anthony Guarino Sr. oldest brother of James Guerino Sr. We last visited with the Cucci family at the reunion on June 30, 1990 at the Holiday Inn in Itasca. It was a memorable experience for us that we'll always treasure. Thank you for inviting us. Again our condolences.
