Wishing the Big Screecher, Carmine Santa Maria, a very happy 82nd birthday. Carmine celebrated the big day on Aug. 13 at his favorite watering hole, The Parkway Diner, where the food is always good and plentiful — and the cake was whipped-cream delicious.
Surrounded by an adoring family, wife Sharon, son Carl and wife Lori, daughter Dana and husband Michael Sgori, along with a passel of grandchildren — Alexa, Michael, Vanessa, Jake, Cassandra and Dean — Carmine celebrated the way only the Big Screecher could — lots of noise, candles, and of course, cake!
Carmine’s actual day is Aug. 14, the same day we celebrate the birth of Social Security.
The Big O is sending out Italian wishes to the Big Screecher, “C’ent anni.”
