January 13, 2023 at 3:53 pmI will always remember you as my, caring, intelligent and kind-hearted godfather who gave me a puppy a very long time ago. We were estranged for some time, but luckily, we recently reconnected. I am grateful for that. Rest in peace. You will not be forgotten.

January 14, 2023 at 12:35 pmWe have so many fond memories of Gaetano. He was always so kind and thought to us and our boys. He was so proud of his garden and would always give us bags and bags of everything he grew. He would make bread for us, knowing how much my kids loved it, even driving to our place to drop it off. He will always be remembered as such a generous man. We will miss him. Our condolences to Rose and John and the whole family. Sending our love.
