Gerardi Family,
I'm sorry for your great loss.
Your father, Bruno, was my first boss in the water treatment industry in Lauderhill back in '73. He often spoke affectionatley of his wife and family. Bruno told me: "Hank, there's just two things you need to know about the water business: 1. water flows downhill and 2. payday is every other Thursday."
May your Mom rest in peace in God' s most beautiful garden!
Regards,
Hank Breitenkam
