Roast and Toast our Frank J. De Santis !
Dear Friends, Romans, Orange County Countrymen/women, and
OSIA Brothers & Sisters of Renaissance Lodge #2259 . . .
please lend me your eyes and ears . . . I would like to tell you a story
(actually many, many, many stories) about a V.I.I. (Very Important Italian)
named Francisco Joseph De Santis (but, mama-mia, it-a would-a take-a much,
much, much-a more than-a this-a program-a-mama for sure!)
I sincerely wish I could be with all of you
to Roast and Toast our Frank J. De Santis !
( aka “The Cucuzza King” ! )
as well as
“FJDS”, “THE BOSS”, “Mr. Pizza Pete”, “The Big Cheese”,
Salute !
With love, admiration and best wishes always . . .
P.S. The halls of good old REI still echo (and always will) the sound & smell of
FJDS whistling those familiar Italian tunes and cooking all kinds of things
fresh out of the garden (don’t forget the Italian parsley and basil !!).
P.P.S. Remember, don’t forget what happened to Ornsby – he got more than
roasted! That little piggy went more than to the market … he tried to tell you as he
went wee-wee-wee-wee all the way home to Villa Park. At least he got to live high
on the hog (while he became a big fat hog) in Villa Park with the De Santis Family !
What a life !
