I will forever cherish the memories of Uncle Guy coming over to our house every Monday when he could still drive to visit with our Mom and Dad. Even after, our father passed away and he was still able to drive, he would stop by to check on us. When he was not able to drive anymore, we were sure to get a phone call once a week. I will miss those phone calls and everything about him. God Bless You.

Love,
Niece Kathi Donofrio

My grandfather was my hero. He served his country in WWII and his community as a RPD officer. He was a very special, kind, loving person. I cherish all the memories I have of him. My heart is broken he isn't here anymore. I am happy he is home with God and the love of his life, Grandma Sally. Love you forever Grandpa xo
