Richard and Geraldine Storella established the Educational Trust Scholarship with the vision that hard-working students with connections to their Italian heritage would be able to use the award toward furthering their educational endeavors.
Mr. Storella wanted this scholarship to honor his wife Geraldine (Gerry) and this Trust will do so for many years to come. Gerry Storella was born in Quincy and attended Quincy High (class of 1955). She was the Captain of the Cheerleading squad and years later, became the first female member of the QHS Hall of Fame in 1955 as the class Valedictorian. She attended Boston University College of Business Administration where she also became a cheerleader for the Terriers.
Richard and Gerry were married for 53 years. Together they were involved in the Quincy community throughout their lives. Richard coached Quincy Youth Hockey and Gerry joined right alongside him as the Secretary for the Board of Quincy Youth Hockey. They were both members of the Granite Links Golf Club and Gerry was a board member of the Thomas Crane Friends of the Library and participated in many of the events that the Library sponsored. Gerry also believed in, and followed the wonderful history of Quincy, and as such, became an active member of the Quincy Historical Society.
Gerry wanted the opportunity to pass on to others what she learned from her Quincy education, her Quincy neighbors, and her Quincy upbringing. Through this Scholarship, her dream has come true.
The Board Members of the Richard and Geraldine Storella Educational Trust are Lawrence Taglieri, Principal of Quincy High School, Dr. Brian Jolley and his sister Denise Martucci, family friends of Mr. and Mrs. Storella, Leo Keka, owner of Alba Restaurant, and Anthony S. Falco, Esq., Trustee of the Trust.

Us (F&A) vs. Them (MassHealth)
Important Information about MassHealth Estate Recovery Requirements
Usually Masshealth makes it very difficult and challenging to obtain benefits and protect assets and they look for every dollar to “claw back” what they paid out. As you know, we at Falco and Associates, PC help clients obtain Masshealth benefits and avoid the Masshealth “claw back” and liens. See a notice mailed by Masshealth to their recipients which actually HELPS recipients avoid the lien and claw backs! THANK YOU MASSHEALTH! An Us and Us moment in time! In short, the way to avoid liens and claw backs is to avoid PROBATE. At Falco and Associates PC we can help you avoid probate. If you or someone you know has Masshealth and assets as well, have them call us to avoid the liens and claw backs.

Happy Father's Day
A Tribute to Anthonys Father, Antonio
Antonio Falco was born in Torre Dei Passeri, Abruzzi Italy, 1930. He came to America 27 years later with his 18 year old bride, Lucia. He raised four "Italian American" children, and was the proud grandfather to 15 grandchildren. He worked as a steel ironworker for over 30 years, bought and maintained rental properties, a condo in Florida and traveled the world.
Yes, the American dream. But those are the "outside" facts and accomplishments. From the "inside", he helped dozens if not hundreds of people (in recovery and within our community), showed up day after day for his wife, kids and grandchildren, took pride in his work, saved a dollar, never bought a new car, gave back to his community, and passed on April 17th 2013 with thousands of people paying their respects, and most importantly, with his family by his side. Yes, the American Dream is real, but it is deeper than most of us think. If done like Antonio, the American Dream is a life worth living and one that gave instead of took.
