Portrait of Nunzio Arrao
In loving memory

Nunzio Arrao

August 9, 1930 – January 30, 2019
Lived 88 years
When you miss someone just talking about them doesn’t begin to scratch the surface of reflecting on the person they were or the life they built. Of course we wish that Heaven had visiting hours.. with this, whenever you visit Dad you’ll be able to actually see him and if only for a moment bring him to life. We are so grateful for the family you built, he’ll live forever in our hearts. Love Daniel, Katie & Ava
