Adriano; it seems like only yesterday; we were young and carefree and working at the Rascal House was our big transition from childhood to adulthood. We failed miserably at times but in the long run we all grew up because you taught us right from wrong, you taught us little lessons along the way, every time we messed up. If we came in late you scolded us in Italian; if we messed up an order you made us correct it; if we dated the wrong girl, you made us break up! You were more than a boss; you were a part of us. It was like getting a PHD in life. You trusted us with running the restaurant when you couldn’t be there, weather it was locking up at night; taking a bag full of money to the bank; even driving your Lincoln to get to the bank; you never failed to trust us. It may have been forty years ago but it seems like yesterday. We watched your children grow up into the beautiful, caring young adults they are now. Now it is our turn to say thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Thank you for the memories and the lifelong friendship. As Johnny Cash once said; "we’ll meet again; I don’t know where; and I don’t know when but we’ll meet again some sunny day." May you rest in peace and may God comfort your family, knowing how loved you were by so many ….
