    Thanks Dad for teaching me to be the person, husband, father and grandfather I am today. Although its a little consolation at this sad time its gratifying to celebrate the end of a long life. We will miss you dearly and will always remain in our hearts. Thanks for giving me the famous nickname for Janet as “Pauls Wife!

    To the entire family of Arthur Latessa our sincere sympathy to all the family. My memories of Uncle Arthur when I was a child was of great respect for a quiet and patient man which made him a shinning star in the Latessa family. May you rest in peace Dear Uncle.
    Love and Prayers
    Arthur & Paula
    Latessa
