Memories of meals at the Siragusas, ahead of the Super Bowl

Editor's note: Patrick Reusse was among the witnesses to Giants 41, Vikings 0, on Jan. 14, 2001 in New Jersey. Baltimore would be the Giants' Super Bowl opponent. Tony Siragusa, the Ravens' bombastic giant, was from down the road in Kenilworth, N.J. On Monday morning, Reusse was able to get a number for Tony's mom, Rosemarie, in Kenilworth and wrangled an invitation for a visit. Mom was something else. After Tony's death on Wednesday at age 55, we republish this column.

KENILWORTH, N.J. — Pete and Rosemarie Siragusa had three sons — Peter, Tony and Elio.
