Lisa DiLullo remembers the day when she first met Lew Scarpa. She was visiting her father, Bill Bull, in Milford Healthcare when she saw her father's face light up: Lew Scarpa was there. "My Dad grabbed Lew by the arm and they sat in the hallway talking and remembering for what seemed like awhile," Lisa DiLullo said, "I hadn't seen my Dad that bright and talkative in a long time.
