I just wanted to say a few things about my Uncle Nugie. I will always remember the fun we had with Aunt Margaret and him when we lived in Highland, Calif. My mom Mary Guiffrida and my dad Mike Guiffrida would always gather on Sunday's and spend time socializing and having a good laugh or two. Watching Hee Haw or Mutual of Ohaha's Wild Kingdom (that was Uncle Nugie's Favorite). He would always be out in his garden maintining his fruit trees until he was in his 90's!!!! The Guiffrida family will always have a memory of our great uncle and always smile when we talk about him. He is gone but definitely not forgotten.

Love,

Mark Guiffrida

Dear Ones, Bill and I were at his funeral service at St. Adelaide's church; it was lovely and the day was a beautiful fall harvest day! Gene always shared his fruit with us and even planted an orange tree in our backyard! We will miss him. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

I too have been searching for you, for a very long time. Am so sorry it took your dads death to lead me to you. I lost my mom in 2005, She is gone but the joy she brought to our family, lives on every day in the smiles of my children and grand children.

On behalf of my mother (Betty) as well as myself and the entire Pettigrass family, I wish to express our sincere condolences with respect to your recent loss. "Nugie" was always a joy to be around and I specifically remember sitting in his barber chair while my father (Pete) and Nugie traded stories.
