VIKKIE

I am devastated to share that my father Richard Carbone passed away on Saturday January 31st after a brief illness. My husband Phil and I were by his side holding his hand.

Now that my dad is gone I can’t stop remembering all the good times we had and I’m craving more. He was a good father who lived for his wife and kids. He look us on as many vacations as he could afford and he tried to provide the best life possible for us.

I believe that him and I are a lot a like and I get most of my good qualities from him. He was one of the funniest people that I have ever met and had a unique quality for coming up with the most hilarious nicknames for other people. We spent a lot of time together traveling the country when I played hockey, and he loved our road trips. He was always my biggest supporter of my art and music. He encouraged me to go to Pratt when I was younger and talked me into staying when my brother died and I wanted to drop out.

I’m heart broken that I just moved him near me so I could take care of him and my mom, just for him to only be here for 6 months. My close friends know he could drive me nuts but I’d never give up on helping him because I owed him that and I loved him dearly.

Im planning a celebration of life for him on Long Island in the summer time. I will post more information when I have it. Would be great to see any and all friends that would like to join us.
