Much of what we are today as men, husbands, fathers, as well as the scope of our businesses, we owe in large part to our dad, John T. Scalo.  While we mourn his loss with our mother and our families, his death is allowing us to appreciate more deeply the values he lived by and instilled in us and our sister, Lisa, and how those values have contributed to our lives. Our father's life, we believe, embodies the spirit that reflects the best of America - hard work, generosity, and fairness.  Among the youngest of 14 children of Italian immigrants, dad was born in Mt. Washington during the Great Depression and lost his mother when he was just 10.  After graduating from high school, he got a job as a laborer with a roofing company that employed Richard "Duke" Burns, who would later become his business partner.  After working as a roofer for a few years, dad served his country in the United States Air Force during the Korean War.  He was trained as a medic and earned the rank of Sergeant.  Upon returning home, he and Mr. Burns formed Burns & Scalo Roofing in 1956.  In more than 30 years, they built it into one of the largest residential roofing companies in the region and, more importantly, one of the most respected.  Burns & Scalo Roofing and Burns & Scalo Real Estate Services owe their existence and positions to their efforts.  Our dad and our mother, Patricia, created a home life that instilled fundamental values in us and helped set very positive courses for our lives.  In the years that we worked for our dad, he gave us gifts that whose value can't be calculated; the license to pursue our individual interests, the guidance to build our businesses on the strongest of foundations, and the confidence to grow as individuals.  For his guiding hand, his positive example, and his love we are eternally grateful.  We are grateful, too, to our employees, customers, and friends for the genuine outpouring of condolences that we have received.

Sincerely,
