"Phyliss,Rita,Mary,Todd,Danny and Family,
You are in our thoughts and prayers.
May God keep you close and wrap his arms around all our family in your hour of need.
Knowing your dad has reunited with your mom, family & friends and that someday we will all see each other again in heaven, brings a smile. I will always have found memories of family get togethers during the Holidays and how Jr,Uncle Geno,Uncle Art always managed to beat Mert, Aunt Betty, Aunt Rosie and myself at the games.
R.I.P. (brother-in-law).
Aunt Marilyn (Tolomeo) Papale & Anthony Bucher and Family"
"It was my pleasure to be neighbors with JR and his entire family back when they lived in North Miami. He was a great father and family man. Growing up in our neighborhood was simply fantastic. I'm not sure we know then how truly lucky we were back then. I do now. Hopefully he and Marie are neighbors with my mom and dad again. God Bless you JR......"
"It was nice to have had the privlage to have met JR."
"To a wonderful and loving brother-in-law. I will cherish all the beautiful memories through out the many years. You always made me laugh and so welcomed the many times visiting all of you in Florida. I remember how much you loved getting your manicures and being pampered. Praise God that you are now with him, your beautiful wife (my sister-in-law) and many other family members. You will live in the hearts of so many including me.
Until we meet again in heaven, may God hold you in the palm of his hand~"
