Not sure what to say?

Although Mr. Gedaro was unkown to me, I had tears in my eyes when I read how he did not get his stripes until much later in his life. I remember the horrors of WWII and those terrible battles in Europe. I have utmost respect for our military serving in that era. May he rest in peace and thank you Mr. Gedaro.

Theresa and Jim,
Please accept our most sincere condolences on the loss of your Dad. Jim's sister Patty, bumped into Ralph on the island on Sat. Oct. 1st. Had we known sooner, we would have been there for you.
Although we didn't know Rocky, he was of the Greatest Generation, who fought in WW II. That says it all. They will never be forgotten.
We love you and will keep you in our prayers.
Jeannie and Ralph

To The Gedaro Family,

I am saddened to hear that Rocky has passed. He was such a nice man. I had the pleasure of sitting with him in his garage just a few weeks ago while walking through the old neighborhood with my daughter. We reminisced about the Easter egg hunts and the good old days growing up on Boothby Ave. He shared some of his stories from WWII that I never knew. My daughter had just done a high school report on the war and Rocky had her enthralled with his real life...

Every Easter I think of that spectacular Easter Egg Hunt your family put on, it inspired me to have an Egg Hunt for my four boys and all the cousins when they were growing up.
