Chief
My love and respect for you was and is unconditional.
You’ve always treated me as the son you never had and not just as your son in law. I wish we had met so many years ago. I know we would have built so much together. Our interests in cars, construction and commitment to our families kept us happy together. No need to worry yourself (Pai) I will look after your girls. Always in my heart.
My sincere condolences. Americo was a wonderful neighbour and I will surely miss him.
The Chief was a true family man. I was lucky to have known him all my life. I will always remember the chats we had, meals shared, dances danced, and vacations taken together. He was always interested in what was going on in your life, and he listened to what you had to say. He will be missed but never forgotten. Sending big tight hugs to his family. Rest In Peace Chief, you’ve earned it.
Dear Adelina, Isabel, Mario, Susan, Kaitlin, Marco and Chelsea,
We are deeply saddened to hear about the passing of Americo. When he came to the office, I remember him as a quiet person and a joker. He will be greatly missed. May his memory be a blessing to all.
Shirley and Ernie

Dear Lina and family,
I’m so sorry to hear of your loss. Americo was a good neighbour and I would often see him over the years early in the morning busy around the yard and garage always fixing something. I have missed seeing him in recent times.
May God grant you peace and comfort at this time of mourning.
