Caro Pappa
The work and scarifices you made to achieve for your family,  we will always remember how highly you regarded respecting others and wanting to teach us the same.  We remember the beautiful love and pride you had for your family especially  your grandchildren and
 great-grandchildren, and your soft heart. We will rememebr how you fought to stay with us, when you would cry I would say Pappa why are You crying,  you would say ‘‘because I am happy’’.
How blessed we have been Pappa to have you here with us, but now our hearts are broken, and I no longer hold your hand. But know Pappa, your heart is in my heart and your hand will always be in mine. A thousand kisses to you Nonno, bis Nonno.

Dad
You came into this world with only one name but you left this world with many. Husband, Son, Friend, Brother, Cousin, Uncle but to us you carried the most important titles, DAD, NONNO, BIG NONNO, FATHER-IN-LAW. The first 3 roles are easy for most but you achieved all 4. You are a Dad who is loved and will be missed by Joe.
You are a Great Father-in-law who is loved and will be missed by Janet.
You are a Nonno to Anton, Jess, Jana, Dean, Bianca, Chris who all love and miss you.

Our Dearest Dad and Nonno
 We didn’t want to say goodbye but God saw you getting tired and put his arms around you. Heaven has gained an angel. We will always be in awe of how you came to Australia and turned it into something, making the impossible possible. We will forever cherish all the moments and memories together. You were the strongest man with the softest heart. There isn’t enough words to describe how wonderful you were. You meant the absolute world to us all. You really were our families rock. Even though things got hard and you started to forget, you fought right until the end. Remembering you will be easy, but missing you is a heartache that will never go away. You will always hold a special place in our hearts and we hope to make you proud. We love you Until we see you again Our Angel up in Heaven. Love Gino and Pina, Jay, Annina, Alicia, Tahir, Stephanie, Edin.
