Joe De Matteo, Alfonso Sfortza, Christian De Matteo

Best friends since we met in 3rd or 4th grade, I'm talking about John Sfortza, late of Miami.  John's picture isn't here.  I bring him up because on a trip to Italy a few years ago Christian met and became friends with Alfonzo.  He called me up and said, "i'm hanging out with Sforza." 

     "You met up with John Sforza in Italy," I said, "what are the odds of that." 

      "Pretty high, I would imagine," he tells me, "i just made friends with a great guy, whose last name is Sforza."

     He is a great guy and this is a picture of him and us on a Christmas Season visit to New York (2008).
