I am sorry that i could not be there for the funeral but I do want to say something.

My grandfather was a great man, a great father, and an even better grandfather. He would do anything to help his family. I remember all the times i had trouble cranking the weedeater or the lawn mower,ect he would stop what he was doing and come to help. He would sit on the front porch and wait for elisa to get home with snacks and nickelodeon waiting. Paw Paw I love you and you will be missed dearly.

Pop, 
I was wasn't born into this family but I sure felt like it. You raised a great man that I call my dad. Pop I wished I could have been around more. But I'm glad of the times I did have when I was younger. I love you pop. I know your are happy now. Give maw maw a hug and kiss for me.

Sam, only met with you a few times, but we truly enjoyed our times together.  You and Virginia have raised a wonderful family.  We are happy to be a part of Beno and Carlo's families.  They are something to be proud of.
Love, 
Larry and Maryann Dominik

If I only had five minutes the night you passed away,
I would have had time to tell you all the things I needed to say.

I never got to tell you how much you mean to me,
Or that you were the best dad, better than I could ever be.

The last time that I talked to you
I wish I would have known.
I would have said More,
to keep you on the phone.

If I only had five minutes, 
the night you passed away,
I'd give you one last hug so tight just to see you smile.
I'd tell you that I don't think I could live without you,
not even for a while.
I'd kiss your cheek and take your hand and tell you it's okay to go
And tell you that I'll miss you,
More than you'll ever know.

But you were gone to quickly for me,
One last trip you'll take.
Before you even know it, 
You will be standing at heaven's gate.
Now God has called upon you,
It's time to get your wings.
To leave this life behind you,
And enjoy all of heavens beautiful things.
So wait for me in heaven Dad,
Don't let me come alone.
The day the angels come for me,
I will look for you and mom to bring me home.

Paw Paw,

I am so thankful for the time I got to spend with you, especially as your neighbor, though it was much shorter than I could have imagined. You never forgot to say 'I love you' when we would depart, and I always appreciated that. When I was younger you would make me 'special' danishes without the nuts. There was nothing else like them! You were a sweet man and we will all miss you so much!

All My Love,
Rena

May the friends and family rely on the God of all comfort. (Psalm 145:18,19)

Dear Paw Paw,
I will miss so much, I remember coming over to your house after school.
We would watch cartoons and you would make me a snack and sometimes we would play games. On the weekends you would take me to MC Donald's to play. I know I will always miss you even though you are going to be by my side.
Love Elisa

Dear dad, You will always be in my thoughts and prayers.I will always remember how kind,loving, and thoughtful you are. You were always there for me to guide me and help me when I needed it the most.I remember as a child how you would always surprise us with "Bobbles" little bags of candy and treats. I am so thankful to have spent so much time with you the past few years. I always enjoyed having you "supervise" my projects around the house and offer words of encouragement "That looks good son" and of course a cold beer. We spent many hours on the front porch talking, and watching the neighbors come home. I am so glad Elisa had the opportunity to spend so much time with you she loved spending time with her Paw Paw. I am who I am today because of you I know you will continue to guide me going forward in life. Your work here is done now you can rest In heaven with mom.
Love, Beno

I give my deepest condolences during this time of bereavement.

Dad has always made me feel like a daughter even when Carlo and I were not married.  I enjoyed our talks we would have every evening or early morning.  I have been blessed by the love from my in-laws and am honored to be a part of this wonderful family.  Thank you Dad for making me feel like one of your own.  I promise to take care of Carlo.  You are always in our hearts.  I love you.

You will be missed Sam. Thanks for allowing me to stay at your house (all the time) and eat all the great food you and Virginia cooked. You were the family I was always missing.

I will never forget the first time I met "POP" 28 years ago. He sat and talked with me and he was such a proud father and he bragged so much on his son "Ron Bon". He was an amazing baker,he could bake anything!I loved his danish he made. He loved his big family and he never forgot anyone's Birthday and he sent such nice cards to everyone. I will miss you "POP". I know you are at peace and happy now you are with Mom.With Love your daughter-in-law Linda

May you all find peace and strength in the love of family and the warm embrace of friends. While you mourn your loss, celebrate a life well lived.Your family is in our thoughts and prayers.

Our prayers are with the DeCesare family during this sad time. Sam was such a nice and loving man. Jesus has another sweet angel with him.-Michele

You will be missed Sam! We love you but we are happy that you and Virginia are back together.
