I had to pay to dig this up, which is ridiculous because you seem like a total liar who doesn't know a damn thing, but anyway, maybe your friends should start their own reality show, talking to the dead, like Long Island Medium...

Benedetto "Benny" Carcone of Utica Mr. Benedetto "Benny" Carcone, age 77, of Utica, passed away on Tuesday, March 23, 2004, at St. Luke's Memorial Hospital Center with his family by his side. Born in Utica on April 18, 1926, Benny was the son of the late Eugene and Stella (DeMarco) Carcone. He was raised and educated in New York City and returned to Utica when he was 18 years old. A veteran of World War II, he served in the U.S. Navy. On April 22, 1950, he married the former Josephine Salvo with whom he has shared a union of 53 years. In a marriage based upon mutual love and devotion, Benny has been a friend and companion to his wife and family.

He was very active in the Democratic Party, and he belonged to a number of local organizations, including the VFW, the Teamsters Union in Rome, and the Sons of Italy. He was a communicant of St. Mary of Mt. Carmel Church. Generous to a fault, Benny was an excellent provider and a loving father and grandfather. He was an exemplary family man who was happy bringing up his four children and teaching them the principles he believed in, such as integrity, loyalty and family honor. These values, along with his strong work ethic, made him a pillar of strength and an inspiration for his loved ones. He had an excellent sense of humor and a quick wit that endeared him to his family members.
