It is with great
sadness to announce
that Aldo passed on
Sunday, March 21,
2009.
I have chosen to
post this picture of
Aldo marching in the
Farmington Memorial
Day parade in his
World War II uniform
because it
underlines his great
service to his
country and his
community.
It also
illustrates Aldo the
walking man, the
candidate, who when
his age was
questioned, famously
strapped his boots
on and walked the
seventy miles from
Farmington to
Lansing to launch
his second campaign
for State
Representative.
In is first
campaign for State
Rep in 2000, when he
began the first of
his long walks that
would take him to
every household in
his district, by
sheer chance the
first door he
knocked on was mine.
I became an instant
supporter and
convinced him that
he needed a website
and I would
volunteer to build
it.
We became good
friends and it was
my pleasure to work
closely with him in
all four campaigns.
I think all who
knew Aldo would
agree with me that
he was the ideal
candidate. His
disarming charm,
candor and sense of
humor made him a joy
to be around.
His campaigns were
paragons of civility
that won him respect
from supporters and
opponents alike.
So farewell to a
true 'little big
man'. You have
won our hearts and
minds and will be
greatly missed.
