I never met my grandfather but my Gramma Jenny and my mother made sure that I knew who he was.
I wish I had a chance to meet him.

Great Grandpa DeCarli
I loved Grama Jen and I would love to have met you too. I believe you set the example for your only son who was my father, John Joseph DeCarli (1911-1996). I can only piece together your life from stories I have heard and things I have read. I do know first hand what a father should be because of the man my Dad was. It is my hope that you are together in Heaven and that we will be together someday.
