It is with great sadness that dad and I bid Zio farewell. We are going to miss his quick smile, his bear hugs and strong cheek pinches. Zio had a gentle sweet spirit and always, always did his best. To me he was the carnival uncle, always getting tickets to the circus or whatever special event was going on---he was there and ready to take us even if we got lost---he always tried. For me it has been a privilege to have shared his life, he was always concerned for how I was doing---always asking me "how's it going Main" you OK? I suppose knowing and understanding the trials I've faced in the past. He will remain imprinted on my heart forever---even though he was 81, in my eyes and heart he was timeless....a very special zio...love for your heart....joy for your spirit....peace for your soul....
Love Maina
