This is such a sad time. We have lost our loving uncle Fernando. He has left us but will be with his siblings. parents and nephews in Heaven. What fun times we used to have in the basement parties at his house years ago. He was such a jokester and made some really nice barbecues at avo’s house.. All the warm memories will always remain in my heart…. Love always from Amelia and Brandon
I am beyond devastated about my Avo’s passing. He was the best grandfather who always used to take me to the park and would play with me as a kid. There were countless memories in Florida when we would be there each year that I will forever cherish. He made some of the best pizza too! So many great memories from years ago. Even though I was so young and cannot remember them all, the ones remembered will remain in my heart forever. I’m sad to see him go but I know he’s in a better place now and no longer suffering. He will be missed greatly. Much love, his granddaughter, alex.
We extend our deepest condolences and sympathies to your entire family. May the great memories you created guide you through this difficult time.
With Love, Pat, Diane, Luca & Alexia Pisanti.
Losing Senhor Fernando is a great loss for all. I will remember his bright smile, joyous laugh, and joyful fashion sense:) Everything about him, from the top of his hat, to his bright smile, he always brought such a joyful energy whenever he was around. You always knew he was happy to see you, that he loved life, and that he loved his family. That joyful energy will be missed greatly, but I know he will be smiling from above, watching proudly over his family.
With deepest sympathies,
Nancy
