As requested by mom, here is the picture in the obituary of her brother, my uncle.
He was born on October 17th 1950 in Italy. He was married to his wife (my aunt) for 36 years and produced 4 children, Tonia, Vince, Sam and Lisa. He was a hard working man who had his own business in cement and worked nonstop. Uncle John was also a kind man. He never complained or got angry, he just sat in the crowd and was always soft spoken. He was well known for going to every party and always clearing out a couch so he could sleep on it during the event. Who could blame him with all that work he did.
Uncle John passed away of a heart attack at 6:07 pm on Friday September 29th, 2006. This was one day before his Grandson’s birthday party and 2 weeks before his 56th birthday.
He can never be replaced but will always be missed.

I’m sorry, Mom.

[...] My good friend Lisa’s dear Uncle John passed away suddenly on Friday. I wanted to attend his funeral because I had met him several times, and he was such a nice man. The past two Christmases Lisa’s family has included me in their Christmas Eve festivities, and on New Year’s Day 2005 I attended the big family dinner at her Uncle John and Aunt Vincenza’s beautiful home. John always had a big smile for me and was very kind and helpful. It was a real shock to hear of his death at such a young age (55). [...]
