elevated weIet We have so many great memories of family get-togethers, sharing the most delicious homemade food and wine, followed by a game of bocce.  Santo was unbeatable, even in his later years when he lost his ability to see, he was somehow able to win regardless of his limitations. And, he actively worked on his prized vegetable garden until his 95th year. He had a great sense of humour and enjoyed his life to the fullest – always demonstrating a strong work ethic, a faithful spirit, and love for his family. He would often tear up when he saw us all together, it made him so happy.  We are grateful for all he taught us.
