Guestbook

  1. Thank you so much to his "other family" for taking such good care of him through the years. When Aunt Delsie was alive she would speak of you all and your walk with the Lord. I can't believe that it's been 13 years since she passed. She was truly a kind, precious lady. He was blessed to have her in his life AND he knew it. Thank you again. I am daughter of his older brother Carl, sister of Dean.

  2. I know Uncle Steve and will miss him. I know Uncle Steve has had a son whom proceeded him is death, Jo is actually a sister of his not a brother and he has many numerous Nephews and Neices "Custozzo" that had loved him and will miss him on the Labor Day weekends when we would get together. I am a Retired Navy Sailor (CTR1(IW)) and considered Uncle Steve as a mentor and he would call me to make sure I apply correctly to follow him to the Chief Board.
