Although only separated for 10 months, his late wife Maryann Cavaliere was waiting in the stars that night to welcome him home. A world beyond what we can see, hugs were shared with his parents Silvio and Frances Gioia and father-in-law Dominic Cavaliere as they patiently watched him live his life with pride in their eyes, until his place became available . Here waiting until fate allows them to see each other again are his sister Kassey and her children Davion and Janiah, his mother-in-law Anna Cavaliere and grandmother Rosa Grandinetti who loved him unconditionally and will forever feel the hole he created his absence. Chris Maah was a true friend like no other, more than a friend to Sonny but a true brother. Our starting lineup will never be the same with his cousin Adrian and his sister-in-law Diana, Abby and Jake Grandinetti missing his everyday presence. Brother-in-law and sister-in-law Carmen, Laurie, Dominic and Nicholas Cavaliere will miss the frequent dinnertime practical jokes. Sonny will be missed by his extended family who always had a place for him at their table: Max and Dar Grandinetti, Rosa Grandinetti, Cathy D’Addario, Carmen and Amanda Grandinetti, Rene Gagnon.
