A tough but gentle man. He found pleasure in the "simple" things such as: gardening, wine making (a pro!!), & family. He always talked about presenting yourself as an upstanding person & "doing the right thing". I learnt alot from him. I was so lucky to have him as a Grandfather. Con tante amore!! - Posted by: Nic Di Rado (Grandson) on: Feb 09, 2012
