Irene and Guy... My sincere condolences. It's been a long time since I saw your dad but I do remember that your dad was one sweetheart of a man. He's in a better place now... know that he will always be watching over you and his grandchildren.
God be with you always.

Irene and Family,
My deepest sympathy for your loss. Cataldo was a very special person, he was always willing to help out anyone at anytime. He was a special member of our team on Skilled Nursing at CMC and I was honored to have him as a friend.
Love and prayers to all of you.

Although I only knew Cux for a year, I was lucky to be a fellow member of the daily morning chatterbox club. I do know that Cuxy loved his family and his country. He was a rank and file member of the "proud and the few". Most definitely..A Great American! Chris Lavelle from the Dunmore Hilton Highrise.

I did a poor job of communicating but always thought of my Uncle Cux, you will be with my father Tony LaMagna now, and I am sure there will be a fun family reunion in Heaven. I am grateful to have shared my most special wedding day with you Uncle Cux, rest in piece and know that you were loved and will be missed!
