My condolences to all for the loss of a great man in my Uncle Cliff! He was also my Godfather for whom I held the highest respect. I enjoyed very much visiting him when I was in town either with my father Tony or later on my own. He was a complete pleasure in conversation and will be very much missed. May he be happy now again in eternity. Love to all, Paul West - Louisville, KY

My condolences to the family. I will always remember my wonderful talks I had with Mr. DiSanto. Such a beautiful kind wonderful father. Even though we never have met, each and everytime Carolynn was back home visiting her dad, I always had the great pleasure to say hello, and he always put a smile on my face. Beautiful man inside and out. Rest in peace dear Clifford, an angel for sure.

We were blessed to have Uncle Cliff within our amazing family. He brought laughter & wisdom to all who met him. My favorite is how he would always just smile and watch my auntie Dulcie when she would do her dancing and singing. He just shook his head and cracked up laughing. Great times..Love to all my wonderful cousins. Take care...Rita

Dear Lou, Jim, Jan, and Carolyn
We remember Cliff fondly. We visited from California about 25 years ago when our son was just 2 years old and we were so warmly welcomed. Both Cliff and Delsie were always so kind and generous, warm and caring. I remember coming over every Sunday afternoon for lunch when I was in medical school. You will never know how much that helped me get through those tough 4 years. And just before we moved to CA we had our wedding reception in Cliff's backyard. God bless you all. I know Cliff lived a happy and fulfilling life. He was always joyful and content. Chris Meehan told me that Cliff passed without allot of suffering and I was so glad to hear that.

To all my cousins in the Disanto family. Our deepest sympathy. Cliff was just a regular guy. Could talk to him on anything all day long. His love for the Red Sox was beyond belief. Loved our Yankee/ Red Sox discussions. Would come to anyone s aid no matter what the circumstances were. Was such a wonderful uncle and brother in law to the Caiazzo family. Will miss you dearly. RIP
