CHARLES Buddy PICCININO, In loving memory of our dear son. God took him home, it was His will, But in our hearts we love him still; His memory is as dear today as in the hour he passed away. We often sit and think of him when we are all alone; For memory is the only friend That grief can call its own. Sleep in peace sweet angel Mum, dad, brothers, sisters and families.
In loving memory of my brother Charles ‘Buddy’ Piccinino on the 35th anniversary of his tragic death.
