Your son, Peter, was a great friend during my early childhood years. We enjoyed a friendship when you lived close to my great uncles house that was on the corner of Illinois Street (Carl and Doris Jensen's home). Later in years, you became a friend that inspired me, following Peter's death, as I entered my Apprenticeship on Mare Island. Thank you for your friendship and inspiration! I will not, have not, ever forgotten you!

I will miss seeing him out in his garden either planting or harvesting. Then at times I would catch a glimse of him carrying in wood. He has been a good neighbor to us. We will miss him, we live directly behind him.
Our deepest condolences to the Viviani Family.

Catherine, Susie and Family,
I am so sorry to hear of Geno's passing. I have fond memories of
Geno and Catherine and our weekend trips to Felton during our childhood. Those were good times. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of you.
Sincerely,
