Dad, it’s been 8 years, 8 long years of missing your presence, your smile, your voice, your laugh, your advice, your always being there. Gianna misses her Papa more than words, you would have loved Gino, he reminds me of you so much!  I love you dad, please continue to watch over us and guide us!  

Rick, You will be deeply missed.  Your love for Donna was seen for miles.  The love for your daughter was deep and strong.  The love for Gianna, priceless.  You were a man that many called friend.  A father to all that you touched with your wisdom and compassion.  A Papa to all the children that touched your heart. Your being will be missed, but your presence will be here forever.  You etched a place in our hearts for a lifetime.  
Donna,your pain will pass with time.  Remember the goodtimes that you shared. 

With deepest sympathy and love to you, Lauren, Eric and Gianna.

Michelle, Lauren and Cole Alletto

Our dear Donna and family,
Our hearts go out to you. Rick was a great guy and good friend for so many years. We know he was a good father, good husband, and grandfather. He loved our church and could never refuse Father Marino or Father Richard for anything they asked. God rest his soul in heaven with our beloved Marcy, and all the angels and saints.

Dear Donna and Lauren and Family,
There are no words at a time like this.  Please just know you are in my thoughts and prayers.  I remember all the fun times Bob and I had with all of you and those are great memories for those of us left behind.  Rick was a good neighbor and a good friend.  My prayers are with you.

Every year I worked with Rick at the Cavatelli stand at OLMC's Italian Festival.  It definitely won't be the same this year withiout him there.  We will all miss him.  He was a good man underneath it all and had a good heart.  He would "play" argue with me and make me laugh.  Rick was one of a kind.  He loved his family so much!

May God be with all of you during this trying time.  Your family at OLMC loves you!

So sorry for your loss Lauren and Donna. My thoughts and prayers are with you. He is in heaven watching down on all of you!

Love and prayers
