Pop, you loved me like family from the very beginning. I always enjoyed spending time with you and loved watching you interact with Nicky and spending time down the shore with him. Your spirit will carry on through him and we have so many great memories to share with Nicky IV as he grows up. You are going to be missed but I am so thankful for the times that we had.

Pop if ever there was a person to whom I'd strive to be like you are surly it. Kind, gentle and loving you were always there for us and always understanding. Only once can I remember you upset, when as a boy I carved my name into the builtin wooden bench you had made on the porch of the mountain cabin. I was using the pocket knife you had reluctantly let me hold just two minutes earlier. Guess I had that coming.
Todd thank you for the kind words and thoughts, though I was very young I fondly remember those Thanksgivings at Grand Mom and Pop's.
Pop your Spirt and Love will always love strong in our hearts. You are physically gone, but your memory and name will live on in our hearts and in our Family all the way down to Little Nicky Veriabo IV. You left an unmistakable mark and for that we will always love you! Give Grand Mom a kiss for me and tell her I love & miss her.
Love Dearly,
Nick Veriabo III

Mr. Veriabo was the regular home plate umpire over 45 years ago when I was a catcher playing little league baseball for Briarcliffe Father and Son. A wonderful man who I greatly respected and continue to remember fondly...Condolences to his family and loved ones.
