How blessed were me and my siblings to have had such a wonderful Uncle who was the epitome of a man who loved not only his beautiful wife and 11 children but had and made the space for my family as welll as for all of my cousins. I have some early memories of him coming from Jersey City to Nutley in his blue wagon Volkswagen to bring us to their home and in later years when they moved to Howell, and after a long hot day of working construction outside he would come and get us and bring us down for sometimes what would be weeks in the summer. I can remember Saturday mornings waking up to the smell of bacon and eggs and pancakes that he would make for all of us! He opened his heart and his home to us and gave his love unconditionally. It was an honor and privilege to call him Uncle and nothing made me happier than to make him my Italian Anise cookies and although he may not have had any favorites, I would like to believe my cookies made me a little extra special to him! We will love and miss you my great uncle, rest easy and until we meet again, may you rest in peace! Love, BettyAnn
