Thank you to the wonderful staff at Emergency, ICU

and the Neurology Ward at the RAH. Thank you

for your dedication and wonderful care.

We thought we would have you with us for many more adventures but sadly it was not to be.

You will be missed by so many people.

Thank you for all the memories dear Fonz.

Not, how did he die, but how did he live?

Not, what did he gain, but what did he give?

These are the units to measure the worth

of a man as a man, regardless of his birth.

Nor what was his church, nor what was his creed?

But had he befriended those really in need?

Was he ever ready, with words of good cheer,

To bring back a smile, to banish a tear?

Not what did the sketch in the newspaper say,

But how many were sorry when he passed away?

Fonz my Hun,

my heart is breaking right now there are not

enough words to say how much I will miss you.

Taken from this world far too soon, our plans all cut short, I am devastated. You were generous to everyone who crossed your path. Thank you for your companionship as my loving partner, my chef, my travel buddy; you worked so hard and I'll hold on tightly to memories of our many adventures. I'll miss enjoying Sunday pasta and vino with you,

and the long days and nights chatting about

everything and nothing at all.

All my love always and forever, Tanya.

Thank you for the love and support from your

family and dearest friends.

I will always remember your love of life - Atalia.

Gone are the happy days we shared together,

But not the memories, they last forever.

When thoughts go back as they always do,

We treasure the memories we have of you.

Love Domenico and Maria Calabro and family.

We watched you suffer,

We heard you sigh,

But all we could do,

Was just stand by.

We lived in hope and prayed in vain,

For God to make you well again.

But He decided we must part,

We watched you go with broken hearts.

Love Angela Macheda and family.

In God’s care you rest above,

In our hearts you rest with love,

Memories of you are ours to keep,

Our words are few, our love is deep.

Love Rocco and Annunziata Calabro and family.
