Sometimes, the combo package of a down-to-earth father and son needs no explanation. I have had the pleasure of spending time with both Pat and Matt Amicucci, and I enjoy the sense of humor and lightness of being that each of these individuals possess. They take the otherwise mundane events of daily life, and shine a bright light upon them to show us the beauty underneath each one. Once you hear the laugh of featured member, Pat Amicucci, you will always be able to place it amongst a crowd.
