My condolences to you and your family.
Sorry for your loss Roberto. I know how you feel m8, I too lost my father almost on the same date as your father, but one year ago....so it does take a while to try fill the gap. You have our deepest condolences m8.
I'm very glad that you seem to be taking his passing so well. He appears to have been quite an extraordinary man/husband/father, and it is a loss for us all that he is no longer with us...
Sorry for your loss, but what a great Italian immigrant tale! I am second generation Sicilian (that's right, don't mess with us, but I got an offer you cannot refuse ) and I am proud to hear stories like your dad's. His qualities are missing these days and I wish more immigrants to our country exhibited the same drive, ambition, pride and effort to belong that he did. You should be proud of him; I know I am and I didn't even know him. People like your dad and my grand parents are heros that the younger generation could use as role models instead of entertainment industry losers.
Sorry to hear about your father, Roberto. My father passed away almost 11yrs ago, and it is a tough and sad thing to deal with. God bless you and your family.
Roberto my deepest regrets go out to you and your family. Even if we are only people that you speak to from time to time on this site,we mourn your fathers passing with you as friends. May your memories of him fill your heart with love.
I appreciate all of your kind words and condolences they are very comforting to me and my family especially my Mother, I will be showing this thread to her she will love to read some of the stories of other landed immigrant. She will especially enjoy the ones written in Italian. Ringraziamento a tutto per le sue parole molto gentili, la mia famiglia e Io l'apreciate esso moltissimo.
Roberto: My deepest condolences for your loss. Regardless of our age, our parents always seem eternal. I lost my Mother a while ago to CML, so I can commiserate with your pain. Try to remember the good things and don't dwell upon the regrets we all have. I'm sure you were a wonderful son to your father. Best, Scott
My sincerest condolences Roberto. While it seems that losers and azzholes live forever, the world has lost yet another good man. I'm very sorry for your loss buddy.
Roberto, Please accept my sympathies for the loss of your father. Mine left me at the end of 2006 after a very special lifetime that like yours leaves you with endless thoughts and memories of the best of times spent. May his honor be always recognized by those he knew and influenced. His family is to be proud to have had such an amazing person, mentor and friend so he sounds and was. Keep him always shining through your days. He will always be there for you. Phil
Roberto, So sorry to read about the passing of your Father, a special man indeed!! Remember him everytime you drive your Spider. Please pass on my regards to your Mother. Best wishes, Phil.
Again thanks to all of you for your very kind words. Today in a small church in Italy called the "Tricalle" where my father and I were baptized a sermon was held for our family and friends in our home town of Chieti. The sermon was given by my nephew Lorenzo for my father and again the attendance was overwhelming, my Father has not been back since 1994 15 yrs ago hmmm same age as my car..... Ciao Papa
Roberto, brother, I am very sorry to read of your father's passing. As many have said it is good you had such a strong man to influence your life and it is also good he lived long enough to see you as the success you are today. Remember to celebrate the good things you shared. It is these moments that live on forever. Take care of yourself and your family brother. My thoughts are with you.
