He was a member of the American Legion Post # 1092 in Niskayuna and the Disabled American Veterans Chapter #88 and the Wounded Warrior Project. Our dad was a loving and kind person with, at times, a sarcastic edge to him, but with a smile on his face. He would laugh when he got this way. He loved us unconditionally and was always there for us our entire lives. He lent a caring ear to his friends and family, always helping them when he could. He especially looked over the care of his wife, Britta, his mother, Emily Morelli, and his siblings, Leah, Frank and Eugene through any sickness and care they needed. He was a devoted son and brother. He would groom and water the lawns at St. Cyril Cemetery and place flowers on the stones where his wife, Britta, and son Jimmy and brothers and mother were laid to rest, making sure all looked just right.On Sundays, for years and years, he would always enjoy making his spaghetti sauce with macaroni, meatballs and sausage and other Italian dishes. He also continued cooking his favorite dishes up to a year ago. Dad was an avid football fan, college and pro. He also began to enjoy watching golf. Our dad will be greatly missed by us, there will be an enormous void in our lives- he is in a much happier place.
