RIP Zio Angelo..
My Uncle passed away last night On Spetember 5th 2006 at 11:45pm. The cancer finally took its hold and it was too much for him to take. He's the last of my Uncle's that immigrated to the U.S. I last saw him when I went out there a few months ago and spent some really good time with him for a week. He told me on the day that I left "thanks for coming here.. I always thought of you like a son and you gave me life while you were here to visit me.". My Uncle was a straight shooter and cared immensley about our family. He always tried to do things right and to the best of his ability. When he was a child he really had it rough, being a kid growing up in Italy 50 years ago wasnt really alot of fun. His Dad (My Grandfather) was a really tough man, not because he was a prick but it was just different times back then. Either way he grew up to be one of the best people I know and I always considered him to be like a father to me. Funny thing is though when I got the news last night I didnt even shed a tear.... I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing. I've become so numb to losing people in my life that I don't even outwardly react to it anymore. Im really going to miss him and I dont ever think going back to Boston will ever be the same. R.I.P. Zio
