Armando was all about his family and friends. He loved spending time with his grandchildren, inviting guests over for a get-together, and especially playing cards with his friends. Above all, Armando looked forward to annual trips to his second home in Southern Italy, bringing his children and grandchildren to visit other relatives. Another thing he really loved, was cars.
