"Pop's" gruff but gentle nature was a guide and called me to be my very best. I will always remember all your family as my family and I am so sorry I only just found out. My sincere condolences, love and heartfelt sympathy are with you all.

Dear Giaco family and, especially, Vince, Jr.,
Mr. Giaco was a wonderful man, his kindness could hardly be matched. My father thought the world of him. And I often think of the time when, in my early years of teaching, I taught Vince Jr. -- a most memorable student. He was mischievous, but with style and goodness. Deepest sympathies to you all.

To the Giaco Family,
You have my heart felt sympathy. My knowledge of Mr. Giaco was limited to the gentle spirit who walked in the hospital room to give communion and to pray with the family. His quiet demeanor gave solace to the family when the atmosphere was full of tension. When he left the hospital room, you knew that everything was going to be alright. As he continues to walk with Jesus, I pray he continues to pray for us. To his family, God has taken his dove home to continue...

To the Giaco Family, Mr. Vince hired me as a projectionist while I was in high school. I can remember sitting in the booth watching the Chicago Cubs baseball games and eating popcorn. His "talks" are lessons I truly treasure now that I am a parent. He taught me so much. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

We have fond memories of your Dad. He used to repair our televisions in the early years and minister the Eucharist to us in times of need.
Vickie, Chris & Vince - we kids remember you in school. Losing a loved one is never easy, especially a parent.

Mr. Giaco and family was a huge part of my life for many years. I remember the really old days when he would come over and repair our tv (1960's)
I have met many local politicians, celebrities, etc..but Mr. Giaco was a friend, neighbor, and mentor to me.
We are all better people thanks to his Christian example.
My prayers and sympathies are with you all at this sad time.
