Nino/Uncle: Nino I want to thank you for everything you have done with me. We have spent some beautiful moments with me and I would never forget them. You have thought me so much and have guided me so much. I have no many memories together that I will keep in my heart. I will truly miss you nino. I can’t sink in my head the thought that you are gone. I know your always next to me and my mom. Please take care of all of us and say hi to grandma for me. Love you nino. You will never be forgotten. 

Here is an old picture from back in the day when we were Best friends. I'm going to miss you. 

My brother Johnny has always been someone I look up too. He’s been by my side as the brother role and as the father figure role. Since I was young he’s thought me so much about life. He’s helped me through my toughest battles and has helped my through hard obstacles life has thrown at me. He also thought me that no matter what family will always be family and we must stick together through thick and thin. Johnny has been a guide for me but also for my son Eleno. He’s been with Eleno since birth and through all his hard obstacles in life. Eleno loves and adores him. Johnny has always been my shoulder to cry on and the person who has always guided me through the correct path. I’m going to miss everything about him. His phone calls his laugh his visits just everything about him. I have not only lost my big brother but my father figure as well. I will miss you so much bro. Please give mom and Jr a big hug and tell them both I miss them so much. You will all be missed deeply and will never been forgotten. We will carry on your legacy. Love you bro!!

Dad, I Love you so much and miss you so tremendously! Life will never be the same without you dad/papa. 
Thank you for all the beautiful memories, love, joking around, endless laughs we all made as a family . 
Thank you for always going above and beyond for us dad you always made Everything happen. 
I remember all our vacations we would have and going to Disneyland every year.  You and mom gave us the best childhood. no matter what you guys were there for us in more ways than One. 
You and mom were my biggest fans when it came to my sports. I remember one time you coming from work in your work van and I see you running down the hill at the park with a smile on your face  ready to watch me play softball. You always were there for me dad no matter if you had to work or just got off work you always showed your love and support.  I am so blessed to have a DAD like you !!  So many beautiful memories throughout the years.  one of my favorite memories is watching you enjoy being a grandpa/ papa! 
You were THE BEST PAPAAA EVERRRRRR!! (the way Mila would say it)
Dad, you and your bug (Mila) shared a beautiful bond that poured out so much love! You always made Mila happy while you guys would play around, go outside, an adventure somewhere with the family , read book,  dance around, and just being silly together. She always had the biggest smile on her face being with her PAPA!! We miss our nightly routine when  Mimi would go say good night and pretty much just act silly for 10mins  and you and mom always let her. 
Your Gracie girl loves and misses you so much dad.  
This isn’t going to be easy and life definitely changed the day god called you home but, as a family  we will heal and be here for each other. We all will be here for mom you rest knowing she will be okay. 
Thank you dad for this beautiful life. thank you for always being my biggest supporter in every stage of my life.  
Rest easy now dad fly high and watch over us
🤍🙏🏼🕊


I remember the first time I met Johnny and his brother Rich, we all worked at Adelphia at the time and they came to assist me on a job that was consider big for me.  3 telephone pole run and to the house and our boss Mr. Gaines told him and his brother to come out and help me out.  He drove up with a lot of confidence and energy and asked me what I needed to do and I told him the game plan and he stated we got this and for me to just worry about the inside of the house.  What seem liked 20 mins only Johnny and his brother Rich came up to me to let me know they were leaving the property and I was like well what about the outside and he said everything is done and him and his brother both chuckled.  I was like damn that was fast and he said well thats how team work is and I was grateful for both of them.  That day I had a new found respected for Johnny and his brother for as something as simple as showing me what teamworks is all about.  They didn't have to make everything seem simple but from this day forward Johnny and I became from what i believe good/great friends.  I have plenty of stories off and on the Job but this one stuck out the most because it showed the character Johnny has and addicting because you would aways want to be around great people. fast forward almost 13 years. I've talked with him a month or so back before his passing about my wife and I were in the market in buying our fist home and he gave me his new passion in real estate and his advice then we went talking about something i totally forgotten about.  He asked me about a 49ers flag that he has at his house and I was like Yeah, Niners! and he said,  you know i still have that flag"?  I was like cool and then he said, "you were the one that gave it to me".  He was then telling me how much he appreciated me and wanted me to come visit when I came back into town.  This was our last conversation. I will truly miss you brother and I'm sorry that I was not able to come by and visit. Until next time

Johnny, you were a great example for others. I loved seeing pictures of you and Stella and your family. Your love showed in all of them.  You were always a class act whenever we saw each other. I love you my nephew. 

"A true friend is never truly gone. Their spirit lives on in the memories of those who loved them."
May you find blessings in the next life, dear friend.

Nino, there are no words to explain how much you meant to me or to this family. You were there for all of my accomplishments and just everything growing up. Everything is going to be different without you and grandma around and the empty spaces at family events will definitely be felt.  We are going to stay strong and together as a family because that is what grandma taught you, my dad, Trina, & uncle Eddie and what you guys have taught us. I know that you are with grandma now, just didn’t expect it to be so soon. I love you always Nino.

Johnny I know you can't read what am writing.   But I know you are around.   I thank God for the friendship over the years.   You were family my kids knew you as uncle Johnny and just a few years ago you and Stella became Delilah's God parents as she was reborn into Christianity.   There are so many memories to share and remember the birthday parties graduation parties barbecues etc.   But what Alex and I always looked forward to was bringing in the New Year with you, Stella, Rich and Margaret, this New Year 2022 will be different but it will be in your memory. 
Am grateful for the years we all hung out and watching all our kids grow from infants to teens to parents  and now our grandchildren get to grow together .  Thank you for always being there for us and all your generosity.  We miss you and your jokes your sense of humor will never be forgotten.   You were so much like a brother to me and it hurts to know  I will never see your presence in my home again.  But your seat is always reserved. 
I never  thought I would be writing this about you.   May you be resting in God's kingdom.   Love and miss you brother 
Love Alex , Emily and Kids.  

What do I say about you bro. Thanks for always being there for me. You were more than my big brother you were my best friend.  We worked together at the same company for over 20 yrs. We raised our family's together,  we saw our kids grow up and become adults.  We became grandpa's about the same time.  We used to have family vacations together  have bar-b-qs all the time. We had the best super bowl parties.  I'm gonna miss all the things we used to do. But most of all I'm going to miss our talks just having a beer.  Thank you for being my brother my best friend and the man I admired the most and for helping me become the man I am today. I love you  and I miss you.  Till were together again bro. Give mom a hug and kiss for me. 

It was an honor to work with a coworker who was committed to their success.We will remember you with warm thoughts & memories. 

In this sorrowful time, we would like to extend to you our heartfelt condolences... May our Lord comfort you and your loved ones.
