Happy 45th Mark



to the man who is Forever 41!




Our son's favorite Daddy





We're toasting you with a Captain Morgan and Coke .... 




even in the moments before your last breath, you were smiling


We miss you and we'll never forget you.

He was happiest...


when he was with the kids ...




























Whether goofing off with our son...




or sleeping peacefully





hanging with his sister....




helping David...


being my "cheerleader"



and wishing David a good day at school



but bottom line .... He was happiest... when he was with the Lord....




and so he went, on June 21, 2006 ....




My life is good now, but it will never be the same. Grief rears it's ugly head at unexpected times. The Lord has seen to it that the right people are here to help me through.

but it will never be the same.

In loving memory ....


Savino Nitti

May 25, 1911 - May 25, 1998

On this day, 11 years ago today, which was ALSO Memorial Day, the glue that held our wonderful Italian family together, went Home to be with his family and Our Father in Heaven.

The world lost an amazing man that day. One who laughed, cried, loved and tolerated. A great friend to many, a loving husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather.

He was a man who loved his wine, beer and liquor (none of the cheap crap though!); a man who loved the finer things in life, yet wore undershirts and underwear until we grabbed them out of the laundry. A man who would drive 20 miles to save 5 cents a gallon on gas, we never understood his justification.

This was my grandfather, my Pop-pop.
