We've lost another kind-hearted, fun-loving, salt-of-the-earth fella. But on the bright side, I'm sure he is continuing his romance with Dora up in the clouds somewhere. I'm going to miss you, Uncle!

We were very sad to learn of Carmine's passing. I remember him as a fellow worker at AMC and a true friend. Also he was a pretty good fisherman on Lake Michigan! We send our sincere expression of sympathy to his family and assure them that they will be in our thoughts and prayers. Jim & Noreen Fonk
