I learned too early in life that family means never really saying goodbye. That family is always there - whether you want them or not.
I learned today how hard it is to actually live those words. To actually know someone and lose them unexpectedly.
I don’t remember when my biological father died. I don’t remember him. The tiny gift from that is that I learned how to keep him around.. for me.
When Poppop died earlier this year… I knew it may come. We’re all on borrowed time. We could say goodbye.
But today was unexpected. Now I have to feel what it’s like to overnight have you taken away. My dads gift can’t protect me from that.
But with you…as painful as it is for everyone. We’ve been given another small gift. With you I know we ended with warm feelings on both sides. I could see it every time we were together. I heard that same feeling in everyone's voices today. When I spoke to my mom and Danielle especially. And I know I’ll see it more with the rest of our family.
You were a friend to all of us. A forever friend. And while we may have lost a part of that today. You inspired the same in Danielle. There’s a huge piece of you in her and in each of us. Thanks for having a heart big enough to share.
I know what you’re doing now. Up there eating pasta n peas… and meatballs… and talking with pops. Enjoy it… check in on us. I know I won’t hear from you directly again. But I know where to find the pieces of you. In Danielle, Denise and my Mom and others. You’re forever in us.
I hope that one day I can be the kind of friend you were to me to my nephew. - Michael David ❤️

My sweet, funny, friend Carlo dropped this off at my house many years ago after hurricane Sandy. I had always liked it so one day when I came home from work there it was on my front lawn - where it hasn't moved since the day he dropped it off. He remembered that I liked it, so he loaded that heavy statue in his car and surprised me with it. He always did thoughtful things for people and never thought it was a big deal. I will miss you forever Carlo LaLa. You also made the best crab cakes I ever had. ❤️ Penny

My siblings and I have lost very influential men in our lives far too soon. Both our Dad and our Pop Pop battled medical issues that (at the very least) gave us time to process and, albeit painfully, know that we would lose them in time.
But losing our Uncle Carlo Lala hits different (there’s a Swiftie reference and I didn’t even know we had both recently jumped on that particular bandwagon). Losing him is unexpected and shocking; it feels surreal. The sadness feels somehow sharper, more than just an ache.
Your smile was infectious
Your laugh was the loudest
Your empathy was evident
Your love for Danielle Lala is forever fierce and for Denise Ferrigno it is real and true
You always sat in your chairs, and wore your hats, backwards.
Your shoes were always fresh.
Your passion for music was obvious; Grateful Dead and Further among the favorites.
You’ve probably worked at every restaurant in Jersey over the years;
And shared stories from Garrity’s, Mikes Seafood and most recently Wawa (yes!)
We were lucky enough to visit the home you created with Denise Ferrigno recently.
And as expected, it was warm and welcoming.
I am so happy you found one another and shared a love you both deserved so much.
You are, and will always be, sorely missed by family, friends, colleagues and more.
We will tell ourselves you’re with Pop so he isn’t lonely, even as our own hearts break missing you. You are LOVED.
Sincerely, Carla

I didn’t think I’d be writing on your wall this soon but I miss you so much, I can literally feel in my body that you’re not on this earth anymore. I really hope you can see and hear me and Denise and everyone who has been talking/praying to you because we all miss and love you. I’m so sorry life was taken from you, at the end of the day I feel most sorry for you. You were so happy and loved life so much, how evil is it to rob someone who enjoyed everything about life so much. I hope you and pops are laughing at all of us still here on earth. I love you with all my heart ❤️ - Danielle

Carlo, you were always the romantic. You always commented on my husband, Gene and my escapades. We were so happy for Carlo when he met his soulmate, Denise. His life was shorter then some but fuller than most. RIP Carlo...you will be missed.

This picture is from when the band Furthur played in Mexico in 2014. This was one of my earliest concert memories with Carlo... I'm lucky to have shared lots of music other than that over the years as well. But I'm really glad that he went from "music friend" to "friend". I am grateful to have known him. Wickedly funny. Super kind. I'm so sorry to Denise, Danielle and all the rest of Carlo's family and loved ones. Especially youse guys, MDO's. Your friendship was fun for all of us to play along with. Holding all of us close.

This is such a sad thing to see. My daughter Vicki worked with Carlo at DV Wawa and he was the greatest boss she had to look up to. He was always so caring and making sure she was good and ate or drank something - she has some slight issues with her sugar levels. He will definitely be missed he always made us laugh when we saw him.

There are no words to say, just how much of a void you left in us. We had some amazing times that I will never forget. I hope you’re enjoying your daily dirty banana and causing some drama. Much love always, Amy MDO

I used to work with Carlo in the cafeteria at the William J Hughes Tech Center. He always made the day go quick with his jokes and smart comments. He always had a smile on his face and his laugh was contagious. He definitely kept you on your toes. He will be missed. & forever in the hearts of those that were lucky enough to get to know him.
