Frank Lemma has been one of the most beautiful men I have ever had the privilege to call my friend. His kindness, warmth, humour and generosity helped my children and I in ways he will never know. His encouragement and support, his sharing of Angela his beautiful wife, and his introduction to me of wonderful Italian traditions in the kitchen will never be forgotten. I will miss cooking with him, I will miss visiting with him. Love always - Janet Rogers

It was such a pleasure to meet Fortunado and his family all those years ago while researching our family's history. The times I spent on Toronto overnights with Dominic, Johnny, Maria and 'Nado were so memorable and enjoyable that they will stay with me forever. Bbq's, tomato plants, home cured prosciutto and the Italian Club...such great times! Our family vacation to Niagra Falls would not have been complete without bringing my wife and children to visit and meet their Canadian cousins and experience the amazing hospitality of Fortunado and Maria. We are all blessed to have known Fortunado and experienced his kindness. Our thoughts and prayers are with Maria and the boys, Brenda, Zach, Christian and Maia.
