Papa Angelo,
You and Babbi’s timeless love story started the most beautiful family that only continues to grow.
Thank you for being strong yet gentle, loving yet hard and above all else hysterical. I will never forget my time spent with you and all the simple moments that meant the world.
You never failed to make me smile and I knew you would move mountains for me and everyone you loved in a heartbeat.
I will always remember sitting on your lap in the back room tracing your scar from your heart surgery and asking “who hurt you.” Your undeniable love for musics, playing the trombone for me, telling inappropriate jokes that we all excused, motorcycles and showing me what being a family man truly meant.
Selfishly I say 25 years with you was simply not enough, but I feel blessed to have had that long.
I hope you are playing in the best jazz band of all time up there tonight. We love you dearly and will carry you with us in our hearts.
