Memories and Condolences

Dear Eduardo, Gabriella, Pasquale, Giancarlo and Sarina: I would like to extend to you from the Morelli family our most sincere condolences on your loss of Orlando. We just heard earlier this evening from our cousin Vince Morelli and whole-heartedly apologize for not having attended the services. Orlando was a superb man, who carried on all of the good Eduardo and Francesca instilled in him and the brothers. He always had a smile on his face and was a pleasure to talk with. Francesca was so proud of what her son had accomplished for the Greco name as she and my mother and late father were close friends. My mother extends sympathy especially to Giancarlo. I too lost my father, +Eugenio less than a year ago, and feel and know your loss. May he rest in peace and his memory be eternal. With condolences and love on behalf of the Morelli family, Carmela (Morelli) Tarailo and mother Maria Morelli.

All of you are in my thoughts. I thought the world of Orlando and I shared some hard times with him. I am glad his suffering is over. God's peace and blessings to the Greco family and to Mario and Connie who loved so much and I know will miss him so much. He was a great man who truly loved his family. Lynn Musillami

Dear Kelly & Eddie and family

I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I am sorry I was not able to attend the wake, I heard the news too late. My father also sends his sympathy. My father enjoyed speaking with Orlando a few weeks ago at your office reminiscing about Italy and life. Orlando was a very nice and funny person. He made me laugh. Life is a funny thing. I hope in time things will get better.

Eddie and Gabriella I was shocked to hear about your fathers death. My father passed away ten days ago. Orlando was such a good man with a kind heart. I wish I would have known him earlier. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Rest in peace Orlando.
