My thoughts and prayers are with all of the Family
The Bamonti family was a big part of my parents and my life when we would go to Savoia's for dinner. My parents who managed
the Green Shingle were friends with his Father. When I was little every time we went to dinner,which was often,
his Father would make it a point to come to our table and talk to them and me. He always made me feel special
Our tradition of going there is still a wonderful memory!
May God Bless you all
