Ippolito family: I’m so sorry to hear of your great loss. Muzzy was the nicest man. My mom loved your parents and I still remember summer parties in your backyard when I was a child. I also still have my angel pin that Muzzy gave me. Sending love and my sympathies to the family. Jackie Romolo( Joana DeSanto’s daughter)

All the Radosh "kids" are so sorry to hear the news about Mr. Ippolito. He was our neighbor/friend all the years we lived in North Riverside and then after leaving the area. He was always kind and caring but would not let any of us get away without behaving like proper citizens. Both Charlie and Helen treated us all like we were family. Our love and support goes out to Helen, Sue, Kathy, and Chuck at the loss of this wonderful man.

Uncle Muzzy was a true angel that lived amongst regular people! His wants and needs were simple A good beef sandwich always hit the spot. At any event he was the star attraction! Always the most welcomed guest! He laughed hard and often and cried with everyone to share in their pain. It was my honor to be one of his dearest loved ones. I knew it and felt it my entire life! Thank you God for the special gift of him. I will cherish his memory Always!

Uncle Muzzy was bigger than life. As a kid I remember him as the most energetic grownup in the room. As an adult I loved just listening to him talk. Story after story. He was funny- kind and generous. I treasure his angel pins. He will surly be missed by all who knew him. Heaven is not the same now—he’s shaking things up there!! Love to Auntie Helen and all of their family.
