My wife and I were both lucky enough to have known both Mama T and Papa T. They were wonderful folks and are sorely missed by all who knew them. Many of us in the knife community have met Papa T and their our were the richer.
Living in Brooklyn we had many wonderful visits and dinners with the Terzuola family and we will always miss those two smiling faces. Bob showed us a picture of his parents when they were courting and one could tell this was meant to be.
In January of 1993, we had just gotten our late German Shepherd Smoke who was one tough rambunctious boy from the beginning to the end. His first car ride was to visit Bob's parents. Mama T was ill at the time and Smoke had the good sense not to act up with her. Papa T, sitting in a rocker called him over and we hoped he would not topple him out of his chair. Papa's
calm and loving manner somehow convinced Smoke to climb up his legs and totally fall asleep in his lap. He was the only person who ever had this effect on the dog.
Bob, we will miss the good times we had with your wonderful parents but will carry the most loving memories of them forever.
Karen and Steve
