This not é a simple book of memories, sufferings of a lot of years of direct and faithful deposition é and torments, bred from what the great war was called (1939-1945). While this our alive world likely the eve of a' other fatal disaster, I offer yourselves this mine terrible experience like warning and accusation against the war follía and like necessary and devoted gesture to free me the heart and the spirit from the obbrobbri and the barbarity of ció that I lived together to millions companions d' arms d' every nation, of unfortunate victims of every etá and of powerless onlookers Being able of shift. . You did not wait for a book d' author, I am alone a man that lived. You did not wait for amazing anecdotes to happy end, I is not a' hero of it a writer of Hollyhood, is alone a survivor and did not wait for a goodbye, the war tormented me but did not win me. I was born at San Pietro Finally, in province of Caserta son of Vitulio Vecchiarino and of Of Florio Sunday. My degree of education would not do envy to no, I attended little the school but the life taught me the remainder.

Pascal DiFlorio's Nephew...Gaetano Vecchiarino, who was named after Dr. DiFlorio's father Gaetano, I just found out has passed away from us to a better place I pray.

My Thoughts and Prayers go to his loving family as I know how dificult the adjustment is when such a loss takes place.

I was going to call him today and needed to find his phone number in Canada... I looked it up on www.sanpietresiallestero.com and went to look up on the web and found out ...

I missed Gaetano, and I am sorry we did not get to see each other again. I am so thankful that we did talk several times on the telephone and that we did meet many years ago when I was just about 8 years old...But I still remember the visit and will charish that.

I copied this from the web page and I can not read it so am saving till I can get translated...sorry I am not trying to copy but I do want to preserve for the memory of this lovely man who was about the last link of family that really knew my grandfather.

I had a ton of questions to ask Gaetano and wanted to ask in person so his wonderful daughter could translate...I will never forget Gaetano's energy and life.
