Below is Paul's email:

Dear Friends,

It is so hard to make the phone calls and as many as I would need to in order to reach out to all of you so I hope you don't mind my informing you of something so personal through an email.

I regret to inform you that my Father passed away last night. It was peaceful thanks to God. Many of you knew him. He was a very special man.

The one-day of services will be tomorrow only, at The Anthony Pizzi Funeral Home on Paris Avenue in Northvale, New Jersey. 2pm to 4pm and 7pm to 9pm. The Funeral will be on Saturday morning at Our Lady of Sacred Heart Church in Tappan, New York at 10:00 am. For more information and directions you can call Anthony Pizzi at 201-767-3050.

If you can think of anyone that I might want to know this but may have overlooked sending this to, please feel free to pass this email along.

Thanks for your support and God Bless you.

Paul
