Roofing Company Cape Cod | Family Dedication

Frances H Schiappa

My "mom" will be best remembered as a very loving, self -sacrificing, and hard working single mother. "Frannie", as she was better known to everyone, was dedicated everyday to my welfare as a child and as a young adult. I could always count on her support and attendance in everything I undertook.

Having grown up in a home for orphaned children in Newport, Rhode Island, my mother worked two jobs, sometimes three, her entire life to get ahead. Her ambition and hard work was rewarded with her being able to purchase a two bedroom home by herself for she and I to enjoy. It was at home that she spent her most treasured time. My mother's favorite passing of time was spent gardening, improving our home and sewing. Outside of our home and prior to her *death, my mother had found companionship with Mr. Ralph Anderson and was hoping to make a future with him.

The picture you see above has been hanging in my office since I started CCR&S twenty years ago. My home office is where I feel she would be most at home and provide the most inspiration to my family and l on a daily basis.

Perhaps you may remember my mother from working at Clausins in Falmouth, National Bank of Wareham, Cals Caper, Tweedy & Barnes, Cranberry Corporation, May Optical, and the Elks of Wareham.

I miss her dearly and think of her daily. It was her skills of administration and organization, that along with her undying love, that were her greatest gifts to me. Today, she would be the grandmother of three, one of which bares her name. Although she is departed long ago, she continues today to be the driving force of my conscience to aspire to greater achievements as a person, a father, a husband and a businessman. Without her guidance the first twenty-one years of my life, I would not be where I am today... I owe everything I have and everything that I am to her.

With ever lasting love, your son...

Emo R Schiappa

My "dad" will be best remembered as a very loving and hard working self-employed mason. "Moe", as he was better known to everyone, was a dedicated father and friend to everyone who knew him.

Having grown up in Wareham, MA, my father worked as a mason his entire life. For over twenty years my father was self employed with a partner, Mr. Elmo Ferioli. Together they were known as Emo and Elmo. Their mason work was legendary in the area stretching at the time from New Bedford to Hyannis, particularly Wings Neck in Pocassett, MA.

My father's favorite passing of time was spent working on his boats, sitting at Tempest Knob, fishing, gardening and pizza and friends at the old Knotty Pine Restaurant (Zeadeys today).

The picture you see above has been hanging in my office since I started CCR&S twenty years ago. My home office is where I feel he would be most at home and provide the most inspiration to my family and I on a daily basis.

Like my mother, I miss him dearly and think of him daily. Today, he would be the grandfather of three, one of which bares his name. Although he is departed long ago, the time spent on the water and in the garden shall be cherished forever.

With ever lasting love, your son...

*Frances H Schiappa and Ralph Andersen were murdered on June 15, 1985 in the town of Sandwich, MA. The efforts of the Sandwich Police Department, Massachusetts State Police, the Barnstable County District Attorneys Office and some very brave witnesses all contributed in prosecuting the assailant. Although it took two trials, and almost a third, the Massachusetts Supreme Court has further denied the assailant any further court appearances. The assailant shall spend life behind bars without the possibility of parole.
