Zio/Lefty was one of a kind. I'll never forgot the way he would come up to me with the biggest smile, take my hand, and give the warmest hug every single time I saw him. He loved not only his immediate family, but every extended family member he had. He will be sorely missed but will be a great guardian angel to all who knew him. Thinking about Zia, Uncle Ron, Aunt Sheila, my cousins, and everyone else who is feeling this loss.

I am so sorry to hear of the loss of another great Roseland/Fenger alum. Loved growing up listening to all the stories of 'Lefty' and the 'gang'. I know both my Dad and Mom were proud to be part of this gang. Lots of memories. Please accept my condolences and prayers.
My sympathies to the entire family, Rick Martinotti
