I miss u dad more each day and each hour.. I dont know how to go on without u here..my heart hurts, im numb and empty and nothing in my life is ok right now.. To me you were the most stand up, loving, kind man I ever met.. you are one of a kind and they dont come like u anymore.. If i said I wanted ice cream and we didnt have it home, U would get in the car go get it just to see the smile one my face.. No matter what I wanted u got for me somehow, But it wasnt the things that meant the most to me it was the love and affection that u showed that always seemed to amaze me.. How lucky I was dad to have u,,, How i only wish I got to tell u one last time how proud I was to call u DAD, how proud I was to be ur daughter.. I always knew u would find a way, have the answers, and make me feel safe somehow.. U just had that way about u.. I know I try to listen and go on and make u proud, but Life really has no meaning without u here.. Without hearing ur voice (that louddd voice), without seeing that smile, life just doesnt make sense.. You have not came in my dreams lately so maybe ur resting but I would love to see u, I do listen to ur messages when I have the courage to hear ur voice.. I love u dad and will always be ur lil girl :(

When I first met you I couldn't stop thinking what an exceptional person you were, I came to realize that your whole family lived by happiness and warmth and you exuded so much of that everytime I saw you. Having Biaja as my sister in law taught me how much of a great influence you made in her life and what beautiful person she became because of having you in her life. I remember looking back at my wedding video, we sat you on table 1 and Marianne said thank you for sitting us at table 1 and you said Scali/Scala get it, from then on everytime I watched my video I couldn't help but laugh everytime even though I knew you were going to say that, because you really just had that way of making everyone smile. My last days with you was August 16, 2012 I'm coming to tears thinking about it because of course if I had not gone to see Giovanni for his birthday I probably would have never been able to see your sense of humor that one last time. I kissed you hello that day and about 10 minutes later you came up to me gave me a big wet kiss on my cheek and said did I say hello to you and we were all laughing, cause it was so innocent but the way you did things made us all smile. Thank you for leaving such a great impression on all of us through your family because they are the prime example of the love you left upon all of us. I miss you hope your resting in peace with all the angels.

Just finished reading all the stories people shared about you, and here I am crying my eyes out because everytime you saw me where it was me going thru a divorce, or hard times in my life and my eyes would water up infront of you, you always found a way to make me smile, or make me laugh. I remember you coming to my daughter christening til this day, altho her gold braclet no longer fits her wrist, I still hold it dearly to me, I also remember that same day sitting thru the party across from eachother you looked at me as I was in deep thoughts about how sad I was for my daughter and myself, and you caught my eyes and told me "You know, you are one pretty girl", I'll never forget that...

You are the grandfather of my nephew and I have to thank you for blessing my family with my beautiful sister-in-law, your lil girl Biaja!

You didn't die in my eyes, you just needed to take care of the people that missed you in heaven. You will live thru your daughter Biaja & my nephew Giovanni. I miss you and I love you for being part of my family....I can't write anymore because I'm crying again and I know you wouldn't want that. so I will end it with a smile and say....Rest in Peace...until we meet again xoxo

Hi Babe: I am trying so hard to stop eing mad at you. I keep going over the same thing every minute, WHY DIDN'T YOU CALL ME?. I could have helped you. WHY DID YOU GO?. We had so much more time together. Remember What I said to you so often, look around Babe, It's me and you. Please don't leave me alone, and you woukd answer, I'M NO GOING ANYWHERE. BUT YOU DID, YOU LEFT WITH NO WARNING. My pain is beyond explaining. I see your beautiful eyes looking at me, the brown eyes with the blue circle. Those eyes are just a part of how different you were from most men. Babe, can you mend my heart. Please let me kniw that you just needed to go. When will I understand that. I am so sorry for the hurt you had to go through before you left us. I know you have forgiven anyone who hurt you because you would ask why, but never said anything bad. I'm sorry for me who lost patience with you, but it wasn't you I just had no answers to make you feel better. You were a different man. You made little sense, your thoughts were confused, you confused things people did to you in the past with the people here with you. Your anger was so over the top that I was so afraid of you, sometimes even afraid to go to sleep. Now, I will take it all just to here you call me again (MA) and I would say What Babe, I'm right here. I wish when you wanted me to dangle my feet in the pool, I woukd have come right out, but instead I did other , . things first. The pool will be closed tomorrow and I can't wait. Every morning I get up and see you sitting on the steps of the pool waiting for me come out with you. It is just becoming to painful. I MISS YOU. I HAVE SO MUCH MORE TO SAY TO YOU. I NEED YOUR STRONG DECISIONS LIKE IT WAS BEFORE WE MOVED. THE HOUSE THE CARS THE MEMORIES THE THOUGHTS THE REASONS. I LOVE YOU, I NEED YOU MY eyes are closed, but you are not there. I guess what I really need to know is if you are in peace. Is God helping you. Is your pain gone. Will you take care of all of us, and when do I meet you again. Remember, Babe, I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU. I ALWAYS SAY, YOU had a magnet that kept me no matter wehat we went through together. I always knew you never meant to be mean, but you had trouble keepingn your anger in sort. I love you so much, I MISS YOU SO MUCH, I JUST NEVER KNEW HOW MUCH PAIN IS LEFT BEHIND. iT'S LIKE BEING A ZOMBIE. GIVE ME A SIGN BABE SO I CAN KNIOW YOU ARE WHERE YOU WANT TO BE AND MAYBE I WILL BE ABLE TO THINK AGAIN. REMEMBER, NO ONE LOVES YOU LIKE I DO. I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU SO MUCH

I remember when I was around 6, going to your house on E 10th Street, with my cousin Maria Esposito. You were always so nice to me. My parents Were very fond of you, Marianne and Biaja. I guess u can say Biaja and I grew up together. I am so sorry you life was taken from you. I cant imagine what your family is going through, but I know you are in a better place. May god bless you always Babe. please Say hello to my Aunt Mary Ann for me, and tell her I miss her. i know you guys are probably having a blast up there. u and her had such good senses of humor. lol. Take care

I was tremendously saddened when I heard of Biagio's passing...I proudly carry the name Benny in honor of Biagio's father...Two things always come to mind when I think of Biagio...first was the tremendous mutual affection and respect between my Mom and Dad and Biagio and Sal...I truly believe that my parents loved both of them as their own...the other thing I fondly remember about Biagio was the day of my sister Joy's wedding...she got married on August 13th, the date of my Dad's birth and death...Biagio stood up in front of everyone and said the words I will never forget...'Joe Scala...gone but not forgotten'...I still get tears in my eyes when I think about that moment...the amount of respect and honor Biagio accorded my Dad was an indication of the kind of man Biagio was...I hadn't seen Biagio in many years and I am so sorry I wasn't able to get up there for the funeral...but Biagio will always hold a special place in my heart...Rest in Peace my Cousin...you were one in a million and will be truly missed...

We really go back a very long time and you really were a great guy. All the yankee games we watched you Mare and me. You always teased me saying to Mare "she,s here again. How about a cup of coffee or in the summer you would say I just made iced coffee. I really enjoyed those times spent. My prayers are with you and your beautiful family. Rest in peace with the angels. Find my little nephew and give him a big kiss and hug from me. A word that I will never forget you always saying for-get-about- it. Watch over your family, they love you so. Rest in peace forever. Love Ya

I remember not liking my name growing up, so Babe asked me, "what do you want to be called." I thought about it for a minute, and said, Anthony. It had a nice ring to it. From then on, every time I saw Babe he called me Anthony, even into adulthood. I told him later on in my 20's, it's ok, I like my name now, that was just a phase. He said, "no, I like Anthony, that's what I'm going to call you."

Babe, we go way back, our conection is deep rooted to our humble begginnings in Life...Iggy has so many funny and and fond memories there is not enough room to tell them all here, you would need a book to record them..But we both will never forget that it was you who introduced Iggy and I to each other that day in the park 51 years ago.while I was walking my baby sister...telling me "see that guy over there.."he likes you" not realizing that you told him the same thing..and thats where our story began..each time you saw us you would lovingly tell us "you know I introduced you two to each other" and he told each one of our 5 children ."its because of me that you were born" feeling so proud of helping us find happiness.as we have for 47 years, 5 children and 9 grandchildren later....so we want the world to know that we will be forever greatful to you for being the wonderful person you are and introducing me and Iggy to each other.we owe you our lifetime of family and happiness...but then again that was you ..always giving, loving, smiling, with a true love for your wife and children and grandchildren.and most of always helping anyone whe needed a hand..you were one amazing man, and we will miss growing old together..we pray you are at peace now and that you are resting in the hands of Jesus! if we close our eyes we can see you young and whole again and most of all just smiling that great smile only you possesed...untill we are reunited again, rest our dear friend..we will always think of you...we love you Mr Biag.....kisses and hugs to keep you ....forever and always..Linda & Iggy Antico..xo

At Biaja's 30th birthday party Babe approached my husband and I, said hi and asked to sit with us. As we sat down during dinner, he told us stories about growing up and paused and said to me that I reminded him of his second wife. My heart sank, immediately assuming he despised her. I asked, why, do you hate her, he said, no she was actually a good looking broad, Frank Sinatra tried to take her to bed you know. I laughed for maybe a half an hour. I always appreciated his bluntness and his humor. He was an an amazing man and my husband and I consider ourselves very fortunate to have known him.

Babe I just want to say that everytime we were together you always made our family have fun and have great times together. We love you and your presence with our family will be greatly missed.

I remember Babe from as young as i can remember. He was such a funny man, always made me laugh, every time i saw him he would sing the song "Maria" to me. I have such a fond memory of him making me and Biaja a sled during a really big snow storm and dragging us around the whole neighborhood in it. We had such great times and great memories. He was a great guy. I am so sorry for your loss and my thoughts and prayers are with the whole family

Dear Babe !...please embrace my son Phil & wife Grace..Thank you for the thousand SMILES you left behind..your MEMORY will always be alive in our FAMILY HISTORY...R.I.P..GOD BLESS YOU !..

From time to time I had the pleasure of being part of your family. I always remember you would say something funny and make me laugh. My dad (BASIL)really cared about you and your family. Now you are both in HEAVEN watching down upon us....until we are all together again....God Bless you...and God Bless your famiy. I am sorry for you loss. I know the pain. My prayers are with you

To Mary Ann, Biaja and the Scala family, I am so sorry I cannot attend the services due to circumstances beyond my control. I am deeply saddened at the loss of my favorite cousin. We are only one year apart in age and my fondest memories are of when we were children. We had so much fun together when Babe came to live with us after his father’s passing. I will long remember his fun loving spirit and his good nature. He will forever remain in my thoughts and prayers. God bless you Babe you will be missed by all of us. Ron Scala

babe rest in peace remembering old times when we where young in bk always with that smile and the twinkling in your eyes u where 1 of a kind i'm sure u will be missed

I guess I really dont know where to start, Ican ask a bunch of questions like why did you leave me and why soo soon. but I know that wont bring u back to me. I wanted to write some stuff about you but there really are soo many words to talk to about you , you are the funniest, strongest , most kind hearted man I ever met.. You truly are one of a kind, they dont come like u anymore. No matter what it was you knew the answer, whatever my problem was you solved it for me. What will I do now? U loved me like no one else in the entire world ever will, people met you for one min and knew that I was your prize and Dad I swear I felt the same. U were my whole life , the last 2 years I hated seeing you so sick but I guess I was selfish because I still wanted you around to hold me , help me, and watch Giovanni grow. You used to tell me you would teach him all the things to do as he got older, and now he wont get to even know you, but I promise I will tell him a story every day about you. he will know you like u are right here with us. All I can say is thank you,I was BLESSED to have you as my dad, you made my childhood the best. No matter who I brought over you welcomed them with open arms and a amazing breakfest always. I dont know how to move on without you and be ok, I just pray that you help me to be ok. Please give me a sign that you are with me always. I am so heart broken dad, I remember you used to make me lunch every day because I didnt want to eat the school food lol, or you would watch me walk down the block and I would turn aroudn to make sure you were looking, all our trips to PA and NC you always made such a pleasure. Every holiday you made so special and every birthday was just amazing. You were soo proud of everything I did and I hope I made you proud I tried my best i really did. Im sorry I left you this last couple of months to move back to BK but I just needed to be happy too.. I remember dancing on my wedding day and you saying "as long as your happy, im happy" thats just how you were, you always put everyone first. LAstly if I could of did anything in the world to take your pain away I would of, I hope having all ofus in your life helped it alittle, I wish and pray you didnt get sick the last 2 years, I would just cry watching how helpless you were, it just wasnt you and I know you hated being that way. SO maybe someone up there needed you, or maybe you just needed to rest because I know you had such a hard life Dad.. But I miss u, I really do and im broken.. I promise to carry you in my heart always <3 daddys lil girl always i love u to the moon and back <3

You were an amazing man and great father who always had the biggest smile on their face. I still remeber when I first met you - you found out I was from Sunset Park you told me you had a PEPSI route there and you knew the whole neighborhood very well. You always welcomed me into your home with open arms and made me feel like I was a daughter of yours. I will never forget us dancing and singing at Biaja's engagement party...or sitting at your kitchen table having breakfast and dropping OJ all over the place...you looked at me laughed and said "don't worry" :) great memories...that I will have forever. I know you will watch over all of us everyday. Say hello to my dad for me - I'm sure guys are going to become great friends. Rest Peacefully Babe...Love always...until we meet again Tiffany

goodmorning dad

Dear Marcy and Family, We were so sorry to hear of Babe's passing. We only met him once or twice but we knew immediately that he was a very special person. May God bless you and your family and may your memories of Babe give you peace and inner happiness in this very difficult time.

My cousin Biagio was definately one in a million.. he was 13 years older than me and when I was a young girl I thought he was more handsome than any rock star or movie star (but then again, you can say that about any of the Scala men, they just have that gift! ) But Biagio had more than just the good looks, he had that mischevious twinkle in his eye, and more charm and charisma in his pinkie than most men have in their whole body.. he always made you feel special ...never mentioned the pounds you put on, or the wrinkles starting.. he would just tell you how beautiful you were.. He loved my Mom and Dad and never missed a chance to tell me how much so, and how good they were to him.. I always walked away from any time spent with Biagio feeling happy.. thats what I will remember most.. I know the days ahead for his family will be filled with grief, but in time I hope you think of him more with a smile and than with tears.. it took me years to get there when I lost my Mom and Dad, but you do get there and memories sustain you.. they are priceless treasures that death can't take from you.. my deepest condolences , the world lost a real original! Cousin Babe, rest in peace.. Love and prayers , Joy

During this difficult time I would like to extend my most heartfelt sympathies. If you need a friend to help you through this, you know who to call. Babe, it felt as though I knew you a long time. Thank you for being so hospitable and friendly. You will be missed a lot.
