Dad - only those who have been touched by the sadness of Alzheimers would understand what was taken from you and all those who loved you. Although the disease took away your laughter, your personality, your speech, we knew we were always there in your heart. We will cherish your humour, your laugh and above all your love. Rest in peace "Pop". Pallbearers will be Vincenzo Gabriele, Dan and Vince Potenza, Pasquale and Vince Macchia and Eugenio Capitano.
