Hey Dad,
I’ll always remember the times when I was really little riding in trucks with you. It didn’t matter whether it was the dump truck or
produce truck, I always wanted to go with you and you would always let me go. When I got older, working at the market was always fun. I learned that hard work is good for you and I also learned how to drive the forklift all around the market. When I think back, whether it was at the market or the farms where you bought produce, you were always respected. You earned that from being loyal and honest and was willing to do whatever it took to get the job done.
We didn’t always agree and maybe we had our arguments, but we would get through it. You were always willing to help your kids when we were in need of anything. When talking to friends you always talked about us kids. Your family was everything to you. You enjoyed everyone getting together at the house for holiday parties or just being together. I will miss you very much!
Love,
Tommyboy
Ponto Family,
I among a lot of others remember Pat & his brother from Butternut Street and the Warehouse too. Pat was a great kid when we were younger and we always shared a lot of laughs too. One of the good guys on Da Nort Side for sure. Rest in Peace my friend and may God Bless You & your Family Too. I lit the Red candle for him on purpose.
Fuzzy and Roni,
We are so sorry to hear about your dad. My condolences to you and your family. Sending prayers, positive thoughts and hugs to you all. Love you Susan (Hunt) Baran and Mike Corgnell
I remember Patrick and Sammy rough housing with me at Aunt Fran's house when I was little. Patrick was a good man and always had a kind word to say.
I will be returning from Boston on Thursday and will unable to pay my respects. Therefore, my condolences to all the family. Know that you will be in my prayers. I can see the family lined up to greet him as he passes through the gates.
With love, Steve Arnold
Ponto family. so sorry for your loss. My deepest sympathy. I have great childhood memories of Fuzzy and Sam unloading trucks in the tomato business. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. God bless Fuzzy.
Goompa,
I will always remember our back scratches. I am glad that I came to visit you and we made each other laugh. Sometimes I would give you a nuckle sandwich and then you would do it back.
Give my brother a hug and a kiss for me.
Love you always,
Amelia
Daddy, “Pappy”
Ever since I was little, you took me to the market, farms and Greenhouses which allowed my to find my passion. You always supported me in my ambitious dreams. Although you are not here in person, you will always be looking over me.
Love always,
Junior
