Ivana found this picture of our father with his family, including his mother, father, grandmother and all his siblings. Fausto Papararo father's older brother wrote "Tonino was the most brilliant of us all. He had been very sick as a child and perhaps for this reason it seemed to us that he was the one that his mother loved most and we were a bit jealous."

Grazie, Jenifer, per il bel ricordo ricordo del tuo papà. Vorrei aggiungere solo questo: Tonino era il più geniale fra tutti noi. L'unico particolare, lui da piccolino era stato molto malato e forse per questo ci sembrava che fosse quello a cui la mamma voleva più bene e noi eravamo un po' gelosi."

Here is a photo of Uncle Tony reading one of his poems

It was father's funeral today. It was a lovely service. Covid made the attendance limited to the immediate family but we felt the love from afar.

We have barely begun to understand life without him.

This smile! thank you Adele

Tony with family, Michelina, Lina and Giovanni, in England. Thanks Carmen for sharing.

Tony singing as per usual - thank you Adele for the picture <3

I'm so grateful that I got to spend time with Tony, who was always welcoming, open and generous to me. I knew that I could just be myself with him. I'm glad this photo was taken because it captures how I will remember visiting with Tony -- at ease, relaxing, laughing at his jokes and listening to his stories.
