I worked at Kodak with your Dad. He talked about his girls all the time! I met your mom, sister and you because of him. He stopped over on his Harley one day and i remember it wouldn’t start again! Can’t remember how he got home! He was sure muttering some words to that Harley! RIP
This is your cousin Donnie Cocuzzi. My mother and your grandfather were brother & sister. You ladies have gone through a terrible period and I would like to wish you both my most deepest condolences. We always called your Dad Tony Boy and your uncle Frankie Boy. This was a laughing joke with the other Tarantello cousins. When we were all younger, they both would play duet songs & guitars at all of our special occasions at Grandma & Grandpa Tarantellos house , and I have many great memories. Tumbling weed was one of their favorites. I knew your Mom from the real estate business, and she was a class act and was very beautiful. Back in the old days, Uncle Tony and his sons loved the outdoors with fishing, hunting, and a little drink now & then. As years have passed, we all have become somehwhat distant but the memories will always be there. I am sure they all are in heaven with their fishing poles & hunting gear. Very sorry for your loss of both of your parents. Love Donnie Boy
Michelle & Tiffany, I am so sorry for your loss. You may remember going to the Thousand Islands with Luci and I many years ago. I worked at Kodak with your dad, we instantly bonded and I went hunting with your dad many times. We stayed in touch via email and often shared a few laughs. Your mom was a special lady too and I will miss them both. Again, I’m sorry for your loss.
Michelle and Tiffany and families,
We are so sorry for your loss. We are unable to be there because we are in Florida for the winter. It doesn’t mean our hearts are not with you all at this very sad time in your lives. Both your parents were wonderful people. We hung out throughout our lives. We laughed, we cried and we grew up toghether. We shared so many family times and holidays together. We will miss them both very much. And we will always think of you and your family. We love you. Nancy Castaldo and Mark Tiernan
