Orrie Buzzeli was once married to my cousin Mary Cocca. I just found out that Orrie had passed away and I want the family to know we never forgot him. We (Neve family) always remembered Orrie fondly. I had a trip planned to come to Ellwood this summer and as always something comes up. I am sure you are in deep mourning, he seemed so wonderful to me and the rest of the Neve family, we had no ill will towards him. Those that forgot him now will never be able to break his heart again. Sleep peacefully Orrie, we that got to know you, think you were and still are a great guy. I wish the family my condolences, he will be missed by all that knew him.
Phyllis, Thank you for your kind words and remembering our Uncle Orie.
What a wonderful kind person and great Uncle. As a young girl I always remember the perfect garden that you would have every year. You are now in the arms of your brothers and sisters – give them a hug from me.
