Such a contradiction from another local poster or 2 who describe the opposite of what you say "Ashley always lovely" they speak of a big noting steroid user who bragged about roughing people up that caused the end of a friendship due to behaviour. And that Sam was indeed a lovely guy. I doubt the police lied about that choice of career and their have been posts from people stating they worked with him in that industry, although I agree most likely not of late.

:floorlaugh: Now that's very true.
No one would ever mess with my Nonna - feisty, feisty, feisty :hills:
Yes I reread the funeral notice, he has the "burden" of the strong Italian name.
What does the "no childcare worker" comment mean?Any parent would have done the same for their kids. Bring them home one way or another to put their minds at ease so to speak.
I had this discussion with another friend of my eldest son and he had alot to say. Roberto came from a strong italian background, carrying on the male family strength which is a huge burden at times. I used to work for Italians in Sydney and the younger generation always seemed weighed down by the older generation. I think from memory Roberto was the only male grandson mentioned in his grandfathers funeral notice.
As for Ashley, he was always a lovely guy, but to be medically discharged before the end of basic training for something that happened during basic training would have been hard to deal with, imo. Sam was apparently "no childcare worker" to quote. (Not my opinion and still no excuse for this).

His entire name, is very strong Italian, he is carrying on his grandfathers name. Alot to live up to if they had the family structure like the family I worked for in Sydney. I have had issues my entire life because of my Yugoslav heritage and name, I can only imagine what he must have carried around.Are you referring to his middle name?
Kids always put on a front for parents, I know his family would have been blindsided by this themselves. He was always nice and polite toward me, never rude or arrogant.. I am not saying the police lied, I quoted what was said to me

I don't know...that's a big assumption. I've got Italian heritage and an Italian name and I've got no issues about it at all. Never got hassled, never had a racist thing said to me.....(for my grandparents, it was a different story....:facepalm.
I don't think we can know what his personal experience in regards to his ethnicity has been.

It would all depend on how patriarchal his situation really was, and it may seem that way in name only. The boy's names in my family are ridiculously traditional. They are only names. A little game.
Our own experiences are helpful, but are really just our own. It's great to come here and get a wider view.I don't think we can know what his personal experience in regards to his ethnicity has been. I am basing my comments on my own experiences, I am not assuming his were the same, like I stated... IF.... but who knows, kids are cruel and to be totally honest, I have been abused in the last few months because of my name and "what would I know Im not even Australian". (3 gen btw)
Im not sure, he was kind of talking in riddles. I didn't ask anymore questionsWhat does the "no childcare worker" comment mean?

That's incorrect RE Roberto being the only grandson mentioned. All Grandchildren were mentioned.
