I worked with Aldo at the Army Topographic Command before it became the Defense Mapping Agency. He was always a gentleman and always willing to provide guidance and assistance to me as I learned the work of the organization. He will be missed by those who knew him. I count myself as blessed to have known him. God bless him and his family!
We mourn your passing, but wish to assure you that we will always have fond memories of you and Millie. Bill and Ann Gratz
We are so sorry for your lost, he was a great man, we will miss him. We enjoyed spending time with him and hearing all his stories about his service in WWII.
