I’ll never forget when I was going through a rough time personally and had nowhere to go for Christmas so I slept over the Sciandra house on Christmas Eve. On Christmas Day, everyone is opening their presents and I’m just happy to be there and out of nowhere, Luigi disappeared for 10 minutes and nobody knew where he went. He comes back with a bag for me with two bottles of wine and some Italian “boxed bread” (Panettone). He grabbed my cheeks and said “you should be able to open something on Christmas too.” This is who Luigi was. I remember moment every Christmas as it truly meant so much to me.
Luigi and Kathleen were truly like parents to me while I was growing up and I will truly miss him.
Love to all the Sciandra’s during this time.
