Not sure what to say?

I miss you so much Dad!!! I think about you all the time and wish I had just one more day with you. I know your watching over all of us. Mom and Isabella love and miss you more than words can express. It's been 4 years already since you have been gone. It feels like a lifetime. We will see you again and I know that for sure. I love you with all my heart and soul.

I'm missing you a little extra today Papa.

Kenny and I worked together for many years in the Maricopa Community College District and as financial planners. Few people have the degree of innate enthusiasm for life than Coach G. He shared that enthusiasm with anyone who came into his orbit -- athletes, students, colleagues, clients, friends and, of course, his family. I was fortunate to have Ken in my life and I will always admire the impact he had on so many people. Congratulation on a life well lived. Now RIP my friend.

Just want to express my love and appreciation to Coach. He was a true influence to me not only on the football field but in life in general. I had the privilege to be recruited coached and educated by him and take many of his lessons and apply them to this day. I sure hope the Giovando family knows how much he really did touch and inspire countless people over the years. May you all find peace in this trial and feel the many prayers that are on your behalf.

I have nothing but fond memories of my interactions with Coach Giovando. In the classroom or on an athletic field he was first class.

During Ken's years at Salpointe I worked as a manager for the baseball teams. He was fun to be around and had a great sense of humor. He related to the team well and served as a mentor to all.

The Salpointe Catholic High School community extends deepest sympathy to the Giovando family. You are in our prayers at this difficult time.
