Dear Zio Rudy, remembering all the fun times we had when we were children . . . your love for us was always evident. Fondest memories of the many time you had supper here, your pigeons, rabbits, garden, and Roma. You always had a ready laugh. Mommy

Dear Zio Rudy, remembering all the fun times we had when we were children . . . your love for us was always evident. Fondest memories of the many time you had supper here, your pigeons, rabbits, garden, and Roma. You always had a ready laugh.

Mommy remembers you spending her honeymoon with her and daddy, wearing her hat (see pic), sitting on the bed having cheese and bread, staying with mommy and daddy when you first came from Toronto. You helped push Kathleen in the buggy, babysat Robert (putting rubber pants on before the diaper), and so many other times.

With love, your niece Laura, and sister-in-law, Kathleen.

Many wonderful childhood memories with you and my Nonno, Anthony L. Galvan. Much like him, so proud of his roots, country and family. One of the last of his kind and will be missed but not forgotten.
From our recent conversation, I'm happy to know that you're at the table once again, singing, laughing, eating home cooked Italian food and drinking homemade grappa with your dear missed friends & family. Rest in peace Uncle Rudy.
- Love, Buckaroo
