My deepest sympathy to the entire Stornello family. My husband,Vince and I had many experiences with Santo and Ann. First was Joe and Lori’s wedding and then trips to Texas for the birth of OUR granddaughters and , sadly for the death of Sara. Recently Santo was at my home to share a meal. The toast - E budonza (spelling?) for a 100 years. I will miss him very much
