Dear Sam & Joey and families,
We just heard of your loss and were very sorry to hear about it. Both your Dad and Mom were very special people and will be missed by many. I bowled with your Mom many years ago, and we knew your Dad through the Saviano's. We spent many parties with them, years ago. We now live in Wisconsin, and own a Supper Club there. We left Elmwood Park a few years ago, but still keep in touch with many friends there. We will keep you and your families in our prayers, and a special prayer for 2 special people who will never be forgotten.
Sincerely,
LARRY AND DIANA CATALE

To the Palumbo family,
My condolences to you for this great loss. Pete was second only to my father in my heart. He was there for me numerous times when my dad could'nt be, and will always stay in my heart. I know the one thing he used to say (other then "...Don't you ever grow up to be like your father and I!..." was "If you EVER need anything, you come to me" and he delivered that so many times.
All the good times we had will always be with me, and I know he's having one hell of a martini up there, singing their "I dont wanna go home" version!
Take care and God bless,
Michele DAmico

This was a shock to hear such sad news about Mr.Palumbo especially after seeing him a few months back at Joey's 50th. Seems like yesterday when Jimmy & I were at the house in Elmwood Pk. for all the Christmas Eve's in the basement and especially all those 4th of July firework spectaculars. Those will always be special memories to look back on. Our thoughts are with you at such a sad time. We will miss him for sure.
Your Friends, Jim & Theresa Sab
