Due to the current restriction in place, all immediate services for Orazio and his family are being held privately. A memorial service will be planned later when restrictions allow for family and friends to gather and pay tribute to this amazing family man. The family wishes to extend all their love, thanks and gratitude to everyone dear to Orazio and the Petrosillo family at this most difficult time.
