My father was born in 1929, the year before Neil and he was 100% Italian. He died 4 years ago.
A few years ago, I ran into a picture from Neil visiting Space mountains and I couldn't believe my eyes! On this very picture, I though it was my father and so thought members of my family.

So, from this time on, Neil became even more special to me and his passing is hurting even more.
