Rachel, Bri and Joyce,
I am so sorry for your loss, I don't think I can say it enough. Words cannot describe what an amazing person your father and husband was. I always felt welcomed coming over because he would great me with a huge goofy smile and some variation of a joke. Even if I was having an off day he would make me smile when I walked through door by saying something as simple as .."oh you again!" He loved you all very much and he was the nicest man I have ever met. I am truly sorry for your loss. He will be greatly missed but never forgotten.
I love you guys with all my heart,
Stay Strong!

To the Garadozzi Family -

I was so shocked and saddened to hear of Gara's passing. I worked with Gara for many years at John Hancock and remember spending so many happy times with Gara. My husband and I were so happy to be invited to Gara and Joyce's wedding and Joyce, Gara was so happy when he met and married you. It's been years since I've have any contact with either of you but I do know that Gara will be missed and he will be looking after and loving his family forever.

Joyce,Rachel & Briana,
We are so sorry for your loss. We were very fond of Richard. He taught us so much about real estate. Melissa always told us about the fabulous meals he cooked for her and the gang. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

our prayers and thoughts go out to you and the girls.
i will never forget all the help he gave me about computers.
i met him through my husbans who he worked with at the john hancock.

he was always willing to help anyone, all i can think is that god needed a very special computer tech and called him to his final home.

Joyce may you and the girls find comfort in his memories as there were so many great ones, he was a great husband, dad and friend to so many and will be missed by all who he helped some where along his life here on earth.

YOU MAY BE GONE. BUT NOT FORGOTEN.
