Dr Paino,
A very wise man once said that it is not the measure of man in how he lives his life, but by how others have remembered him when he lives no more. If that is true, and I believe it is, than your life, sir, has been very well measured indeed. I know you only through the adoration for you, in your children's eyes. I know you only by the sound of the undying love in their voices when they look each other in the eyes and whisper "Papa". I know you only by the fact that your son is such a noble man, and your daughter a gentle and compassionate soul, and they proudly boost that they got it from you! I am blessed sir, to know them and so therefore I am blessed to know you as well. Peaceful eternity Dr. Paino.

My Dear Papa,
You departed this life 16 years ago today. The passing of the years has not diminished my love for you. My memories of you are something I will cherish in my heart for eternity. God could not have blessed me with a father more loving, kind or wise. May each day of Forever bring you new blessings, new experiences, new joys and new things to learn. You deserve nothing less than perfect happiness!
Thank you for all you gave me and all you taught me.
I Love you, Papa...now and forever...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, PAPA! How strange it is to consider you have been away from us for 16 years. I hope they have been very happy years for you and that, wherever you are, you always know how much I love you. LOTS & LOTS OF LOVE, Your son, Frank, in Ohio.

Happy Birthday, Papa!
On your birthday, I simply wanted to do something "concrete" to remember you and to remind the living of your wonderful life and all you contributed to this world.
I imagine you strolling the lanes of the Bright World, in perfect health and peace...learning, as you always loved to while here...and experiencing joy beyond measure.
I love you...now and always.

I have called you Papa by the grace of your wonderful children who've
helped me to know you. I love your smile, your essence, the kindness of
your soul that shines through your eyes. I feel I do know you, through my
dear friends--your children--Frank and Gerrie. Rest in peace, and thank
you for everything you did as a talented physician, and a kind and
generous human being during your time on this earthplane. I know your soul
is soaring with the Angels....

Oh, how I *wish* that I could have known you, Dr. Paino...
You've touched the lives of *so* many people and in a way...I have been
touched by you too. When Frank and Gerrie speak of you with words of Love
and Admiration, I can feel Your Spirit. You will live forever in their
Hearts!
Thank you for being such a loving father and caring physician! Thank you
for making the world a better place through your presence here on earth!
Thank you for being an inspiration to your children and to numerous
others! Thank you for your excellence!
On Your Birthday...I celebrate your Magnificence!

"It was always dear to me, this solitary hill, and this hedge which
shuts off the gaze from so large a part of the uttermost horizon. But
sitting and looking out, in thought I fashion for myself endless spaces
beyond; more-than-human silences, and deepest quiet, where, for a while,
the heart is not alarmed. And as I hear the wind rustling among these
plants, I go on and compare this voice to that infinite silence. And I
recall the eternal, and the dead seasons, and the present, living one and
her sound. So in this immensity my thoughts drown, and shipwreck is sweet
to me in this sea." (Giacomo Leopardi)
Recently, I came across this, one of your favourite poems, Papa. How
sweet and dear is the memory of you, loving these words! What world did
they describe for you? Is this the place your Spirit soars in now? How
gently the Universe must hold you to Her Heart!!!
We do not forget you, Dear Papa!!
Love,
--Gerrie

Frankie and Gerrie, your father sounds like he was a wonderful man,
doctor and parent. You were blessed indeed to have him as your father. And
clearly Ohio is better off due to his work. -- Best, Tony

Because I believe love transcends this world, I feel sure that
you know, Dr. Paino, how much Frankie and Gerrie love you...miss
you with all their hearts.
Be assured that their friends surround them with the loving
embrace that you
would were you still among us--mortal. Through you, from
you--you have left us with two very special people who carry on
your raison d'etre. We shall continue to care for them in your
stead.

Curiosando per il cimitero virtuale, mi sono commosso alla
descrizione fatta da figli innamorati del padre del Dott. Frank
Paino, col quale condivido l’origine siciliana. Ho ammirato la
vita da lui vissuta e l’ho sentito vicino a me. Vorrei che
giungesse ai parenti tutti il mio pił caro saluto e la mia pił
l’alta stima verso questa persona un tempo sconosciuta ma ora
divenutami familiare.
