  18. My good friend in high school. Condolences to Moretto and Sonia families. Thinking about Tony last week after many years, so typed his name in Google. Unexpected result, unexpected reaction. Really hit me, with a flash flood of memories. The house on Chestnut St. The Cape. Great guy, great family, good times. Very sad. Rest in Peace.
