"Receiving a star in downtown Toronto was a very proud moment honoring celebrating my father’s heritage. I was born here, but knowing what he went through– the story of an immigrant coming from a country not knowing one word of the language spoken to that new country, to me, is courageous and brave" -Joseph S. Mancinelli
