Uncle Broskie always reminded me of the time that he and his sweet, funny, loving wife Aunt Connie took care of me when my mom had my sister Arlene almost exactly one year after I was born, he always said he didn't want to give me back. I obviously didn't remember that time in my life, but I know it was pretty special.
We loved going to the house or restaurant when we were kids, it was such great times. I always admired the love that was always around him by his children and grandchildren that only comes from the love he gave as the head of his family. He so loved his beautiful wife, and now will be with her again forever.
Rest in peace dear uncle, we love you.

I had the pleasure of living next door to Mr. Villari. He and my father were both Marines. He was in awe of my father, often saying those guys (1st Marine Division) were the toughest in the Marine Corps.. Mr. V also had a strong military history. He was the first enlisted man to join the 3rd Marine Air Wing. He became an aircraft maintenance supervisor for the famous FU Corsair. He also requested South Pacific duty and became a flight crew chief on a DC1 in a medical evacuation wing, His pilot was the Hollywood movie star Tyrone Powers. We had a great time swapping stories, a beer and a cigar, good stuff. How bout them Eagles sarge. There is one thing I can say
about Placido Villari , He lived life to the fullest, loved his family and had no regrets.
Just remember old soldiers never die they just fade away. Semper FI.
