Anthony James "Bill" Giancola

Bill`s obituary, so elegantly written sums up his life and what people thought of him. It still brings a smile to my face when I think of Bill he will never be forgotten. May he rest in peace

Lisa, I am so sorry to hear about the passing of you Dad. He must have been quite a guy. I hope you and your family find comfort in your memories of him. Peace to you all. Meg

Lisa and family , We remember your Dad fondly having grown up on Springdale Ave and Lewis Ave . Always a smile on his face . Best neighborhood memories. Prayers to you all Love and light , Chris (Digiovanni) Greco Mocadlo and Wayne Mocadlo

Lisa, I remember how kind your father was to your mother who was wheelchair bound at that time. We were only in 6 th grade, so quite the impression left on my mind. Although you were so fortunate to have your Dad for so long, it´s never easy to say goodbye to a parent. Thinking of your family and sending hugs, He has a reserved spot in heaven for sure

Dear Bobbie, Lisa, JR & Mark, like many Meriden residents, I too visited Alnic´s after Sunday mass at Mount Carmel Church every week. Little did I know I would marry into the family in the future. I remember Bill fondly both in Meriden and Florida for his cheerful, welcoming smile, always upbeat and joking. I know he will be greatly missed by his family and friends. May he rest in peace.

I am so sorry to hear about the passing of your dad. So many fond memories of Alnic's for myself and my grandmother. She didn't miss a weeknight there. No matter how old we are, it´s never easy to lose a parent. My thoughts and prayers are with you as you grieve.

Dear Lisa, So sorry to hear of Bill's passing. When I was a kid Alnic's was one of our favorite haunts and Bill's disposition and patience with the "horde" that descended upon the place was a welcome counter to what we usually received when entering the shop with our pennies. Haven't seen him in decades but will never forget his kindness and smile. RIP, Bill. With fond memories, Ed Grady

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.
