I am left with so many memories of a wonderful uncle.
You and Costanzo came from Italy as very young men. Ada and I were lucky enough to have doting uncles live with us for a while. You would take me for rides in your car, often to a local variety store to get treats. When the two of you got your own place, you came to get me to show me where you lived. I remember how you made sure to have cookies on hand. Any time I was upset, you would get down to my level to console me and try to make me laugh.
When I had a child of my own, you went out of your way to come to Toronto to meet her.
As an adult living in a different city, I did not have the opportunity to see you often, but the love I have for my ‘Zinzit’ has never faded and never will.
