Anthony and his brothers Vito and Vinny were very loved by Rose (Napoli), and her husband Ben. The "Granuzzo boys" were first cousins of Rose and I grew up sharing also in the many experiences my mother had as a young girl. Pigeon coups on the roof of the apartment, flying those wonderful planes they made in the park near their Bronx apartment, and talking about the cars they were rebuilding. While I sat as a small girl having Sunday dinner cooked by Aunt Rose I can still smell the delicious "rabbit" soup proudly caught by Uncle Jimmy. I remember listening and laughing as Anthony proudly told the story of how his father drove his 1971 RED Buick very slowly from the Bronx to our home on Long island and most likely caused a major traffic jam on the Hutch Parkway! It's no wonder Jimmy's son Anthony grew to be very successful and loving husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather. You will be missed but you'll be in my heart always...
Love, Cousin Karen (Santo) Picciano
