Essay

My father, Peter Giacomello, is the definition of Vitality in Aging.  Sometimes I think he's younger today than he was years ago! He regularly plays golf, walks often, eats healthy foods, and has a very positive outlook on life.  He's a father of three, loving grandfather, WWII vet, and NY sports fan. He loves to read, learn, and talk politics and sports. He still has a crusher of a handshake. Our family is lucky to have him and we admire his fun spirit! We were happy to celebrate his 85th birthday at Citi Field, where we had his name and birthday wishes displayed in lights on the scoreboard.
