I wasn't living in Bellport at the time of the explosion but I heard about it when it happened. Losing loved ones in such a way much have been devastating to you and your family. I'm so glad that so many people have been touched by the Grucci fireworks displays and that you all decided to go on and keep growing and glowing up the night sky with such beauty! The childhood memories of being down at the bay...each 4th of july...sitting on a blanket...just waiting anticipation for the Wow, Butch!

Working with you and your family on our Fourth of July, Venetian Night, and Labor Day fireworks displays in Chicago during the Byrne Administration was always a thrill for my colleagues and me in the Mayor's Office of Special Events -- and for the millions of Chicagoans who lined the lakefront to watch your tremendous displays. My favorite will always be the one in 1980 that you synchronized to the soundtrack of "Chariots of Fire." And when each display was over, you and your family welcomed our staff to your hotel suite for tremendous Italian cooking -- the end to a perfect day!

But also we will never forget the memories as children seeing your fireworks for the first time. It was so special, as are your current shows.
