Jeanie and and all the family we grieve with you. I wish there was something more to do. We are devastated over the loss of our beloved cousin Tony- Butch to us. Tony/Butch was born to Rose Piano Granata and Joseph Granata and was a gift to our family. But the Piano family had so many "Tonys" he had to have his own name- and Butch it was. Growing up we spent our childhood together we almost lived in both houses. On weekends we took turns with sleepovers-my house then his house .My father and Butch enjoyed each other they had similar personalities, always smiling and joking. They loved adventures and getting into situations as only they could. One day Butch and I went blueberry picking in a wooded area next to his house- we found out later we were eating the crop from a blueberry farm-. Through our adult years Butch was always there when when someone was in need. Everyone loved his smile and enthusiasm when helping in any way. Like the time he dyed Dari's hair claiming he was an expert at it. My grandchildren adore him. Every Christmas we had a "cousins party" and Butch always played Santa. When the children got wise to that he turned it up a notch and came as Rotten Rodney, the Renegade Elf. Jeanie was always his willing accomplice. Butch is our beloved cousin and much more. . I'd say Rest in Peace but I'm sure he's happily finding kids who want to play and something that needs fixing -He doesn't want to Rest.. We love you always Butch you are so much a part of us- you made our days!

Sending love, thoughts, and prayers to you Jeanie and your family during this tough time. Words can not express how our hearts feel for you at this time.

Rest in peace Tony! We love you and will.miss you

To the best Uncle in the world - I miss you and love you so.
