With life’s challenges, they moved to Mountain Ridge Assisted Living and Memory Care relaxing and enjoying their life together. Dad had fun serenading the residents and caregivers with his favorite songs! Dad never met a stranger he didn’t like.  He would always greet them with the phrase, “How you doing? You old goat! I’m Angelo Pasquale Giovanni Santarelli!”
