Dear Gino & Family,
We're so sorry about the loss of your father. Our deepest sympathy goes out to all of you. I remember when your dad first came from Italy, and my dad took him around and helped him find a job. The first place he took him to, he was hired on the spot because the owner was so impressed with his welding skills.
God bless you all. You're all in our prayers.
