So glad to see you back at The Record, Bill, and very glad to have the opportunity to read through this wonderful tribute to your mom and dad.   I've enjoyed "meeting them" through your column.  You Ervolinos are fabulous, and I wish you and your family only sunny and healthy days.

I just read Bill's column in NorthJersey.com.  I had not known that Emilio had died five months ago.  Thank you for the article and for once again sharing the news about your family.  The obituary and the pictures reminded me about how much the community has missed since you stopped having a regular column.

I agree with everything that has been said.  I too felt that I knew the Ervolino family from Bill's stories.  The photos on this site are treasures.  Thank you for posting them.  My condolences to the family.  And keep writing.  We miss you Bill.


Dear Uncle,
I will never forget the opportunity I had to transcribe your beautiful story, "Farm of the Beautiful Seven Angels" which took place in Rome, Italy. I was so excited to give a bound copy of it to you on Christmas Eve 2011.
I know you are with more than Seven Angels, one being Aunt Louis.
Love and miss you
Your niece by marriage, Wendy
XOXOXO

I never met Mr Ervolino in person.  But thanks to Bill Ervolins writings in the Bergen Record,  I felt as if the entire Ervolino family were related to my own clan. May both Emilio and Louise rest in the Lord's peace and love. 

Although I never personally met Emilio, I saw him with Louise and family at Barnes & Noble in Paramus in 1997. Through Bill's column and book, Emilio and Louise became personal friends to so many readers. Thank you, Bill, for sharing your family with us. You and they will always live in our hearts.

I met Mr. Ervolino when he visited the library and was immediately captivated by his engaging personality and delightful sense of humor. He returned with his son a short time later with handmade bouquets of silk flowers for the staff and my heart was truly touched. Meeting him was a bright spot in a dark year and we were so looking forward to future visits. My sincere condolences to his family and friends.

Sending my sincerest sympathy to the Ervolino family on the loss of Emilio.  Although I never met either of your parents Bill, through your columns, I feel as though I knew them.  Your stories told your readers about a very loving and funny family, a good life that they made for you and Don.  May he Rest In God’s Eternal Peace.

I have followed the Ervolino family from Bill's column's and enjoyed, laughed and reminisced about Italian family life through them. Louise's "Easter pie," recipe is still in my recipe box. The escapades, the traditions, and the love that this family has was one to revere. I felt so bad when Louise died, like a relative of mine did.. Always wondered how Emilio would fare afterward, but was relieved to see Bill n Don n Talia taking such good care of him. Thank you Bill for sharing your parent's love and may their love forever remain alive in you.

Condolences and heartfelt sympathy to the entire Ervolino family. Emilio and Louise became "extended family" through their son Bill's columns in the Bergen Record. The family exemplified what every family yearns to be.  Emilio will be missed, but through Bill's continuing narration so of family events from the past, his memory will live on.

My deepest condolences to you and your family.  Thank you for posting these wonderful photographs.  You were so fortunate to have had him in your lives for all these years.  He looked like a fun guy.  

My sincerest condolences to Bill, Don Joyce and Talia.  Reading stories written by Bill were my favorite sections of The Record.  Particularly descriptions of your family holidays.   The memories you all made with Emilio and Louise will always be with you.  May he rest in peace with his Louise.

I was a devoted reader of Bill’s columns when he was at The Record, and I got to know Emilio and Louise in that manner. We laughed and cried reading those columns. My deepest condolences to Don, Bill and Talia. May Emilio Rest In Peace.

Deepest condolences to the Ervolino family on the loss of Emilio.  I never met him, but still know him through Bill’s stories about him and Louise.  I laughed , especially because they sounded, and felt, like my own family.  May Emilio Rest In Peace with his beloved Louise.

Dear Bill and Family, Condolences on the passing of Emilio. 🙏 💙  May your memories be sweet and evidence of a life well lived by Dad.  I enjoyed your family stories in your column Bill, and always knew I would like your family. Love and Best Wishes to All of you.❤️

Bill, Don, Joyce and Talia, thank you for sharing Emilio and your family with all of us. Emilio was known and loved by more people than you can imagine. He brought joy to us all. As we laughed and smiled with you, we grieve and mourn with you. He lived a full life made more special by his “fame”. May he find peace with his beloved Louise and may all of you find peace and comfort in your memories of both of them. From Dr Lauren, Mrs Joy and Natalija LaPorta

RIP Emilio. Through your son, Bill, we have felt a part of your family for years. We looked forward to his stories about you and Louise. We laughed and cried with you all, and now we mourn with your family, but we too have wonderful memories. Thank you, Bill, for making us feel like a part of the family.

Dear Ervolino Family,

I feel, thru Bill's writings, that I know your family even though we have never met. They were special people to all of us. 

Your parents are reunited in heaven and smiling down upon your family. 

My prayers are with you all. 

While I never had the opportunity to meet Mr. Ervolino or his family, I have enjoyed many mornings reading about them in my local newspaper. What I have learned from the Ervolino's is that most families are quirky, yet lovable. Typical yet unique. And awesome to those who are blessed to be part of one. Thank you Mr. Ervolino for making this world a wonderful one for your wife, sons, daughter in law, granddaughter and to the many who have learned, laughed and loved along with you. 

As an avid reader of Bill’s columns,   I feel as if I know the family. May your Dad’s memory continue to live on in the hearts and minds of all those who knew and loved him.  Sending prayers and condolences to you and your family. 

While I never met any of the Ervolino family, my heart is so heavy with the loss of your dad. Bill, through all the Record columns, books, Facebook posts, I... like so many others... feel we somehow know all of you. May your dad Rest In Peace, reunited with his love. 
Thank you for sharing your family with everyone. We all feel the loss, too. XO

Just a quick note of condolence to the family. I never had the pleasure of meeting Emilio, or Bill for that matter. I entered military service in 1978. When I settled in Kentucky,  my father would send me clippings of Bill's column (this was pre-internet). I feel like I know your whole family through the column. I have followed Bill on Facebook for a number of years now and always looked forward reading updates on the family. May God grant the family peace and comfort at this time and cherish the memories that you have.

While I didn’t personally know your dad I feel like through your column I knew him . My deepest condolences to your family 

I moved to Wood-Ridge in 1986 and met the Ervolino Family through Bill’s Record Column. I enjoyed visiting Bill and his family twice a week. Then my husband gave me “ Some Kind of Wiseguy” for Christmas. I started working at the Record in the 1990s and met Bill in person. It was a joy and pleasure to know his Mom and Dad and all the family through his stories. The love shines on.

I was a devoted reader of Bill's column and features published in The Record.  Through your words, Bill, your readers came to know and love your family.  I lost my dad in 2019 and my Mom in 2020, and when l read of Emilio's passing l felt as if I'd lost another family member.  Thank you for letting us all know your family.  We join in your loss.  Condolences to you all.
 

I cannot imagine what my life would’ve been like growing up without you and Aunt Louise. From helping you in your garden, going on road trips, coloring together to having my own fake pipe just to be like you. You never missed a dance recital of mine. I will forever treasure our memories together. Please don’t drive Aunt Louise crazy up in heaven. I love you. Xoxo
