His devoted & beloved wife of 35 (thirty-five) years, Donna-Marie (Ventola) Piccadaci, a hairstylist by profession owned & operated “Donna’s Beauty & Gift Shoppe” in Somerville for over fifteen years. Her husband, Anthony acted as chief buyer, salesman, & chief sanitary engineer (janitor) for the shop, as they worked side-by side. And, then, his childhood diabetes, returned with vengeance and rendered him not only temporarily unable to work, but eventually, permanently retired.
