My dad never was about flash and fame. He never sought public recognition or the need to be under any spotlight or be called a hero. But his deeds, character and insight were brighter than any light could shine. He was my role model, my teacher, the one who guided me to understand what was important in life.
My dad was about family, country and community. Family always came first as he cared for both his parents and his sister until their passing. He and my mom raised three boys with as much love and dedication any child could ask for.
My dad served his country in WWII, served his community for over 20 years as a NYC fireman. He was life saver.
Dad you taught me so much; how to be responsible, how to have self confidence, how to work hard and be self reliant. You taught me how to use a hammer, how to cast a fishing line, how to cook and most of all how to be a loving parent. You will always be my hero.
Now you and mom are reunited for eternity which I know you wanted most. RIP pops. I will miss and love you forever. I am proud to be your son.
Michael
