To the Bishop/Roscetti Family: please accept my condolences for your loss. Although we don't know one another, I believe we are related. My mother was Gena Roscetti from Riverton. She passed away at the age of 86, in 2009. Her father was "Little" John who immigrated to the U.S. In the early 1900's. He passed away in 1959. "Little" John had three brothers, Willie, Moats and Nick. Strangely enough, I reside in Carterville, Il. To the Carterville Bishops, I would love to hear from you. Please contact me at [email protected] Again, my condolences to your family. Judy Capie
