“Real Housewives of New Jersey” stars Caroline and Dina Manzo are mourning the loss of their father, Joseph Laurita.
Dina, 48, shared a photo of Joseph, who died April 20, in a hospital on her Instagram Story Tuesday.
“His favorite song was ‘My Way’ and that’s exactly how he lived his life. His way,” Caroline, 58, captioned a sweet snapshot Tuesday. “A tougher man there never was, and in his final days he showed that strength over and over again.”
She continued, “May God bless you always, Dad, and grant you eternal peace. Know that you were loved. Forever in our hearts. 💔”
Meanwhile, Dina, 48, shared a video of Joseph walking, captioned: “I’ll love you forever and always Daddy ❤️ You can rest now 4•20•20.”
Joseph and his wife, Nettie, had 11 children: the “RHONJ” stars, Ann Ricks, Angela Rooney and Francesca D’Annunzio and six sons, Jamie, Chris, Anthony, Joseph, Michael and Dominick Laurita.
Dina and Caroline share the same married name as they married brothers, Al and Tommy Manzo.
Chris Laurita appeared alongside his wife, Jacqueline Laurita, on “RHONJ” and Jamie Laurita made occasional appearances as well.
Chris shared on Instagram, “Yesterday we lost the strongest man I’ve ever known. Right up until the last breath he taught me how to fight and to NEVER give up. He encouraged me to face all the challenges life throws at you head on! I’ll keep fighting Dad and I promise you I will never give up. I’m sure you’re already watching over all of us. R.I.P 4-20-20.”
