Pop,
It has been a year since we last kissed you and said good bye.I still can't believe that you are gone, but I know it was best for you to go so you wouldn't suffer any more.It's been a very hard year for all of us who loved you so much. We are all trying to pull together to cope. I try to be the kind of man you raised me to be, but I come up short. I think of you every day and talk to you in my prayers every night. Please watch over me and help me. Yor Loving Son,
Philip

Pop, today would be your 84th birthday and it's hard to imagine we won't be going over to Nonna's to celebrate. We all miss you more and more each day. I know you are always with us, especially when we are in your house. I can feel you there with us, every time I walk past your jacket that's still hanging on the door in the garage, every time I pull up to the house and I can remember sitting out on the front porch with you and Nonna waiting for Aunt Rose to come home from work in the summer and especially when I'm driving home from Bayville and inevitably there is a "chooch" in the road, just like you've always warned us. Although this is the first birthday we don't get to celebrate with you, I know you are always with us. Happy Birthday in heaven. We love and Miss you.

I've been touched by Vincent ever since April of 1955. That was when he accompanied both my mother Angela and I across the Atlantic Ocean on our boat journey to Halifax, Canada and then onward by train to Toronto. Thanks Vincent!
When our family visited Bayville or Vincent visited Toronto, what fun times we had ....... conversations around the kitchen table were struck straight away about "falegname-ism" and "scarpare-ism". Solid bonds struck in the Niagara Falls Canada early days among Vincent, my Uncle Rock and my Dad Nick were always renewed - friendships were paramount. Differences between Canada's "disadvantages" and American "advantages" were bantered about; Vincent was very much Pro-America can we say; his heart was always in the right place. The great USA gave him the opportunity to provide for his family in a way only you could have dreamed about in Italy. What a house "he" built; "something to see" I recall him saying. And what a location, location, location he chose! He built it in a "small town" location, true to his "small town" roots in Italy.
What eyes Vincent had, with a intensity of interest and focus to listen to what you had to say; but watch out! the "wheels were turning" inside his head. A fully loaded remark was at the ready to be returned in jest. What a fun man he was !
As my Sisters have both said, we, as Nick and Angela Fortunato's kids, have always thought of Vincent as an Uncle and Chiara as an Aunt. We will all miss you, but we still have Chiara!
Vincent it was nice to have known you and we wish all your family all the best in coping with your loss.

Mrs. Iorio and Family:
I sitting here on the eve of Mr. Iorio's service with an array of emotional thoughts going thru my mind. Having lost the love of my life one would think I'd know what to say to comfort you, but I don't. I can however share with you some of my inner thoughts which I hope will comfort you at this difficult time.
So many people imagine that death cruelly separates us form our loved ones. I was guilty of this feeling for a long time,but this is a mistake, for when our loved ones die,they do not leave us the remain. They do not fo to some dark and distant place-they simply begin their eternity. We do not see them mainly because 'we' are still in darkness of the world- but their spirtual eyes filled with the light of Heaven are always watching us as they wait for the day when we shall share their perfect joy.
We were blessed to have such wonderful people in our lives- a gift from God and althought you are hurt and broken, you will find yourself saying thank you'-- for the wonderful gift Of Mr. Iorio. Deep inside nothing cna separate you- not time, not space... not even death.
I am soory for this difficult time- Remember: "don't lose faith"
SYMPATHY AND LOVE
MARILYN
IM MEMORY OF MR. IORIO, I'M MAKING A DONATION TO ST. JUDE'S CHILDREN HOSPITAL.

I will always remember Vincent for his generous and kind nature. I have known him since I was a little girl and he has always been like an uncle to me.
He was a very talented man who could transform a piece of wood into a masterpiece.
Vincent will be sorely missed by everyone that knew him, especially his beloved wife Chiara.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the family. Please take good care of each other during this very difficult time.
I only wished we lived closer so that I could give each of you a big warm hug.
love always from Mary and family.

Fortunato Family posted a condolence
Zio Vincenzo was a gentle and honourable man. The distance between our families certainly made the time spent with him even more valued. Our fond memories of his humour, his positive outlook and his wonderful voice will not be forgotten. The essence of his sweet character is definitely survived by all of his loving kin. To Zia Chiara, Phillip, Marie, Rosemary, Madeline, Vanessa, Vincent Jr., Valerie and Michael we send our sincere condolences. Despite a tragic ending, Vincent’s story was one of beauty and so during these difficult times, it is important not only to grieve, but to celebrate all that he accomplished.
Love from The Fortunato Family, Canada.

Pop,
I have been missing you since you went into the hospital. I don't know how I can go to the house without you coming out of the Chinese room to greet me. You always made sure I made my train and warned me no to stand too close to the subway platform. I have too many memories to write.
You will never be forgotten and I promise you we will take care of Nonna.
Your loving granddaughter,
Vanessa

Vincent Iorio posted a condolence
My name is Vincent Iorio and I am here to tell you that my grandfather was an amazing man. He came to America from Italy and literally built a family. His amazing story began when he married my beautiful grandmother on July 16, 1953. In 1953, he left Italy and came to Canada without my Nonna to start building a future for her. In December 1956, my father, my Aunt Marie, and my Nonna came. In 1957, they came to Bayville and in 1962, in 28 weekends; he built a beautiful house for my Nonna, my father, my Aunt Marie, and Aunt Rose.
My grandfather was truly an artist. His amazing skill is something that no longer exists. His passion for carpentry could not be measured and his talent could not be matched. The amount of effort and precision he put into every project cannot be put into words and if you don’t believe me, come to any of our homes and look at our beautiful furniture.
Pop’s greatest passion was loving his grandchildren. Myself, my sisters Vanessa and Valerie, and my cousin Michael made him so proud and we know this because he always told us. From our graduations, to our careers and starting our own lives, Pop was there to give us his love, his infinite wisdom, and his Georgio Foreman grills.
I am honored to carry on my grandfather’s name and my promise to you pop is that I will continue to strive to live my life they way you did. The selflessness, respect, pride, and love you have passed onto my father are things I will one day pass onto my children. If the measure and legacy of a man is determined by the number of lives he has touched then Pop will be with us forever. I love you so much Pop and we will celebrate your life everyday. You will live on through all of us.
