The story

The First Photo in the series to the right is of "Jim" and his wife Catherine and was taken on one of their many trips to visit their beloved Granddaughter, Christine De Angelo, in Boynton Beach Florida. Christine and her husband, Albert, did more for Vincenzo and Catherine than anyone in our Family. They provided an abundance of support and love that can never be adequately measured. Jim and Catherine visited often and enjoyed a cornucopia of sun basked feasts on major holidays and sometimes for no particular reason at all. Some of the best times Jim and Catherine had were with Christine and Albert at their home in Boynton Beach Florida. The others are of Him and his Sister, Martha, (Mert) and of Him and His Wife, Catherine during WW-II, Of him and a friend swimming, and a photo of him in the pool with three of my Children, Angel, Tony and Vinny.
