Tony, my beloved husband,

my life, my rock, my everything.

For 57 beautiful years, we shared a lifetime of love, laughter, and cherished memories.

I was your Annucella, and together we supported one another every single day.

You were a devoted and loving father to

our boys, and a proud, beautiful Nonno.

Our family is stronger because of you.

You have left a huge hole in my heart, one that can never be filled, but I take comfort in knowing that one day we will be together again.

I love you with all my heart — today, always,

and forever. Your loving wife Anna.

Dear Dad,

I feel truly blessed to have had you in my life. Your strength, knowledge, and wisdom, and the life lessons you taught me have shaped me into the man I am today, and your legacy will continue to live on through us.

You were a hardworking man, and I was proud to follow in your footsteps. Thank you for everything you have given me and for the values you instilled in me.I love you deeply and will carry you in my heart always.

Your loving son Giuseppe.

Dear Nonno

I will always cherish the memories of my younger years with you. Our trips to Moonta, and the time spent at your house, where you would walk me through your garden, proudly showing everything you had grown.

I remember watching you make sausages, seeing the care and pride you put into every step. And I’ll never forget the moments you would let me have a small taste of your homemade vino — something that made me feel so grown up.

These are the memories I will hold close to my heart — the simple, everyday moments that will stay with me forever. I miss you today

and always. Your loving granddaughter Deanna.

Dad, you are no longer suffering, and for that we find some peace. I was always your shadow, following you everywhere, learning from you every step of the way. Thank you for all that you taught us — your strength, wisdom, and kindness will stay with us forever. You were truly a wonderful and respectful man, and we are so grateful for the many beautiful memories we shared growing up. Words cannot express how much we love and miss you. We take comfort in knowing you will be watching over us every day, guiding us through life. Forever in our hearts.

Adriano and Melissa

Dear Nonno

The memories we share with you are truly cherished and will be with us forever. We will always hold close the stories you told about your life, your fishing trips in Moonta, our walks around the block, the time we spent in the garden, and especially the first time you let us try your vino.

I will forever treasure the bond we shared — sitting across from you at the table, exchanging those quiet looks that said so much without words.

Being named after you is the greatest gift and an honour I will carry with pride.

Thank you for your love, your guidance, and for

all the beautiful moments you gave us growing up.

We will miss you more than words can ever say.

Your loving grandchildren Antonio and Stefan.
