Gary Perone has two very big anniversaries this year. The first came in March when he and his wife Ellena celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary. And this week, will mark 20 years since the Brooklyn Cyclones came into existence with the Tottenville resident as one of its trusted employees.

The wedding anniversary was special. The pandemic wiped out the plan to go to Italy, but it transformed it into a long drive to Florida and the Italian pavilion in Epcot Center. Oh yeah, a beautiful added touch was added with the renewal of vows officiated by daughter Alexandrea (Nicolette, Dominique and Gary John are the family’s other children).
