Not sure what to say?

miss you John ... 2 yrs already :( https://harmony.online/david/the-greatest-gift-the-last-conversation/

I wrote this account of dear John, my first primary interAction with him, and unfortunately my final.

I hope this brings tears of joy to those who knew him best.

Dearest Love and Respect

Always had great conversations when I would see him for his foot care. We will miss him, but we know we will see him again. God is good.

Mr. Gardella had a profound impact on mine and my family's life. The financial advice he gave me, was invaluable and his council help my wife and I building our own business and wealth. RIP

I opened my first savings account with John, I think I was 6 years old, it was only 25 cents to do that back in the 60's. I loved visiting the campus to see John at the credit union ~ he was a very important person! He was also friends with my dad, Bernie DePrimo, who just passed in November.

John Gardella was a tremendous student
at Central High with the class of 1949 and liked
by all the girls, especially their little brothers.
