To all the Gucciones,
Your dad was such a wonderful man as you know. He was a great friend to my mom and dad.It's hard to be sad about a man who lived his life to the fullest. He gave, gave, gave. He always had a kind word and that wonderful smile. What a sweet and gentle nature too. You guys are all a testament to the wonderful man that he was.

I was so sorry to read of your Dad's passing. The Guccione family has always been a source of great happiness and fond memories for me. Lil is one of my dearest friends and, although we don't see each other often, we seem to float back into each other's lives on a regular basis. The last time I saw her and her Dad, they were at my father's wake a month ago. Guccione's are always there for their friends.
When Lil and Corey moved back to Alton, I was pleased to hear she was at...

Joe, Lilly, and all
Your father blessed us with his kindness and caring, and not just us but mankind as a whole, that no other person I have met had the ability to be able to do. He had the ablitiy to make you want to always do your best by just being there. I will remember him for the rest of my life and hopefully be able to pass his gift of kindness and understanding on to someone in my lifetime.
With Love

I was so very sorry to hear of Mr. Guccione's death. I still remember him helping my dad with a project at our old house on Central Avenue. He made an impression on me as a child because of his kindness -- I know you will all miss him dearly. Your family will be in my prayers. Special condolences to Joe and Lucia who were friends with my sister, Maureen.
