On behalf of myself, and my parents, Alex and Kay (Perrino)Apuzzo, I wish to extend our condolences to your family. I remember your mother at several parties, and she was such a down-to-earth, friendly woman. She was very proud of her family and it just glowed from her. I know she will be smiling from above.

Dear Lucretia, Marilyn, Joe and families:

Please accept our sincere sympathy. We were out-of-town in Hernando Beach Florida when we heard the news of your mother's passing. Your mother and father were always considered part of our family too. I have great memories of the many hours we spent playing in your home and enjoying the kindness & generosity of your family. We feel extremely blessed that my father was able to work at Home Run Inn for 25 years. He & mom always visited Home Run Inn when they were in town, & loved to see all of his friends. It was a big part of his their lives.

Dear Joe, Angela and Lucretia;

Wanted to let you know how well loved your mom and dad were. We were always treated like royalty whenever we would visit them, at home or at the restaurant.

They were just kind good people that will sorely be missed not just by the family but by everyone that they came in contact with. What a joy it was knowing them. God Bless all of you.

Dear Cousins Joe, Angela, and Lucretia

I was visiting my brother in Arizona at the time of your mother's death. Your mom and dad will always be remembered as the dearest of hearts. I will always remember their kindness and generosity; mom's sweetness. I will always remember them stopping by our home on their way from the Falbo cheese company, bringing us cheese. I will always remember after visiting their home and restaurant coming home loaded down with the incomparable Home Run Inn pizza. But, most of all, I will rewmember their warmth and smiling faces. Please accept my

condolences. Cousin Cheryl

Dear Perrino Family,



As a child, my parents always took me to HRI on 31st street. When we moved to California in the 80's, we always had pizzas to take back when we visited or if we were to have vistitors, they were not allowed in the house if they did not have the pizza. We are back in the Chicagoland area and I have continued the tradition with my daughter, she has been brought up knowing that HRI is the BEST!!! We send our deepest sympathy to your family for the lost of your mother, we know that the pain of not having your mother around is hard, but knowing what your parents have accomplished and what traditions that were set for not only my family, but many others will continue for many years to come. Your mother will be missed, but her legacy will continue. May God Bless
