Hi Al,
In an e-mail I received from Dan Aspromonte he mentions that you have been very ill. Although we have never met and our only contact has been via e-mail I want to wish you a very speedy and complete recovery.
I have spent many enjoyable hours surfing the Torricella Peligna web site that you and Dan have created. I am constantly amazed at how informative, complete, and well designed it is. It truly is one of the best web sites on the Internet.
Get well soon,
Gary Persichetti

A simple prayer
It's that time of day again...When our cell phone alarms go off to remind us to pray...Here's the one that makes it easier for me....Short and sweet... Whatever you believe in. 'You gave us a rare gift when you created Al Porreca....A wounderful Husband, brother, father, uncle. friend, etc. Please bring him comfort and recovery. Let his life be full, and complete for many years to come. And please take away his craving for candy bars..Amen
Best wishes from The Walnistas (Bob, Tina, Zach and Bella)

Best wishes from Bob and Mary Sue Duca
Al,
Nancy Walnista, a very old friend of ours, says she knows you. But...since she's prone to incredible exaggerations, we're never quite sure she's telling us the real story! She say's she's known you since the old days in "The Region" and that your wife is the real family over-achiever and that she's been covering for you since you were first married. Actually, Nancy says you like to just lie around on the couch...and that somewhere there's a picture of you doing just that!
Nancy also said that you have recently lifted the art of malingering to new heights and that it's about time you get up out of bed and start doing something worthwhile for your wife...for a change!
Mary Sue and I send you our very best wishes, and our prayers, that you will soon be able to do just that! God Bless,

Great News!
Dad came through the surgery with flying colors. The doctors say it was not as badly decayed as they thought. It was moderate and they were able to clean it all up today. No need to go back in and do more clean-up - this is excellent news.
He continues to amaze us all with his ability to beat this. He is still on all support systems so that his body has a chance to heal. Hopefully, all news going forward will be about recovery.
Your prayers and positive thoughts no doubt helped him through this, so don't stop now! We love you all and really appreciate all you are doing for my dad.
He was right - he is truly "Stayin' Alive" !
Much love
