    We would like to acknowledge all guest comments; Dad was very giving to most of you. It was a joy for him to visit our Canadian cousins, that always had open arms and minds! He enjoyed his trips to Canada, Utah and with those that he visited there. Dads dementia advancing instead of going on a plane to Utah to See Cousin Charlie in 2010 he was taken away from his loving and caring family here with us on a driving trip which was to much for him after having Cancer surgery and radiation treatments for a year. Unfortunately; disoriented, dementia, travel and lack of his heart meds he suffered strokes during his trip to Dayton, OH, NC, Atlanta, GA, and Satellite beach, FL to be convinced by others that assisted living away from his family, was what they wanted. Luckily as God saw fit to have us reunited in FL and to be able arrange for a flight to Utah for an over due visit, then to get him well enough for air plane travel back here to Mitchell, IN; where he received what he wanted most---the LOVE and Devotion of his Daughter! I am certain of Dad's Love for me as I am he is in Heaven sitting with Mom, family and friends!!

Rose and you took great pains to find us living next door in Canada and took time in your senior years to drive all the way up here for many visits. On behalf of my family, the DiMaria's and Cosentino's in Canada I wish to express our condolences to the rest of the Cosentino families in the US. God Bless you all.

    Uncle Joe we love and miss you more than words could ever describe. Like so many other people that have been touched by your kindness, love, and true friendship, you were a significant part of our lives for many, many, years. You have always been there for us, during the hard times and during the happy times. You have been not only a cousin, but as a close brother, to my father Charles Cassaro. He loved you with all of his heart too. He always loved visiting you in sunny Florida during the Winter and spending many afternoons golfing with you. He also loved visiting your dear close friends, the Coles with you. I can only think of the joyous reunion that you and my dear Father have now recently had together in Heaven. What a happy day for you but we are saddened by our loss. I will always treasure in my heart the special trip to Florida that Hannah and I had. What a great blessing it was for us to take you home to Utah with us for a few weeks.We all had the time of our lives! We had so many special dinners together with Cousin Patty, Sal Gianni, and with the Tolaini's. You are loved by so many. We have wonderful happy memories in our hearts that we will treasure forever. I also want you to know what an incredible source of joy and happiness you have been to my daughter Hannah and myself. She was the happiest child in the world when you would visit. You have taught her to love learning and treasure her eduacation You have also shown and taught us the true meaning of love. We love you Uncle Joe with all of our hearts!! Rosina Cassaro - Anastasio Hannah Anastasio Frank Anastasio and all of your close Utah friends!

    Papa Joe you are missed in our lives. You were a part of our family for over 30 years. My children thought of you as a grandfather. You (and Florence) spent countless holidays, birthdays, and special occasions with us. I can still see Florence adding more food to your plate at the buffet dinners we all would go to on Sunday's after church. I will also never eat Chinese food without thinking of you, I know how much you loved a bowl of soup and a scoop of rice. I truly have tons of memories. Joe, you were a true friend and family member to my folks, their grandchildren, my sister and I. We all loved you and you will always have a special place in our hearts.
