Dino & Family,

We are very sorry to hear of your loss of Gerry. He was always very kind to us - taking the time to stop and say hello, see how things are going and put out his hand with a firm shake - always respectful.

He will be missed. Best of Wishes.

Dear Germano:
I cannot believe it has come to this, you had been through so much, you were a fighter, you had so much courage and did what ever it took because you knew how much your family needed you and how much you loved them. You were a great husband to Emma, a proud father to Marina, Sandro and Antonella, and a nonno that would do anything for his grandchildren, and a great friend to so many. I have wonderful memories of times that our families shared together, dinners, coffees but best of all was our family trip to Niagra Falls when we visited Fort Niagra. Those were the good times. I am so glad that we were able to visit you last Sunday even though you may not have recognized us. At least it gives me comfort to know we were there with you and Emma. Now you are an angel in Heaven with golden wings. Look down on your family and help guide them through the days that lie ahead. You will always live in their hearts and they have so many memories to hold onto. P.S. When you see my dad in heaven could you both share a glass of wine, a piece of cheese and some laughs. You guys were the best of friends and were always there for each other to help out. You will never be forgotten, because I too have many wonderful memories of you. Rest in peace.

Love, Diana Conti

Dear Germano:
It is so hard to face that this time has come...you had been through so much, but you were a fighter, nothing was going to get you down, you embraced every challenge that came your way because you knew how much you meant to your family and that they were so important to you too.
You were a loving husband to Emma, a proud father of Marina, Sandro and Antonella, a nonno who would do anything for his grandchildren, and the best friend to so many people who knew you. I remember all the happy times our families shared together over dinners and coffee but my favorite was our trip to Niagra Falls and we visited Fort Niagra...those were the good old days.
I am so glad that we got to visit you last Sunday, even though you may not have recognized us it gives me comfort to know we were there with you and Emma.
Now you are an angel in Heaven with golden wings. Please give your family the strength to make it through the days that lie ahead. You will live forever in their hearts and never be forgotten.
P.S. When you see my dad don't forget to share a glass of wine, a piece of cheese and lots of laughs. After all you guys were great friends, you have alot of catching up to do.
With love,
Diana Conti

Emma, Sandro, Marina and Antonella.
I hope knowing that "Gerry" was loved by many, is some comfort during this difficult time. I have many happy memories of spending time with your family when we were young. Your Husband/Father was a huge comfort to me when I lost my father, I'm not sure he even realized how much he helped me throughout that time. God bless you and your families, my prayers are with you.
Love,
David (Davide) Hanley
