To the family of Dr. Giuntini:

I am a former patient of Dr. Giuntini and am so very sorry that Dr. Giuntini has passed away so suddenly. He was always so cheerful and upbeat, and so strong. It was a pleasure to be treated by him. He also treated two of my high school friends for several years and they had nothing but praise for him (that's why I decided to go to him for care).

My prayers are with you for strength and God's comfort during this very difficult time.

Dear Lois and Family:

The only thing that I can say is that Doc helped me when no one else could. He was my trusted headache cure for nearly 12 years, and it was truly my pleasure to have known him.

My condolences to your family. His was a light that shined bright and will be truly missed.

I was very sorry to hear of Ed's passing. Although I lost touch with Ed after grade school, I would hear about him occasionally from my brother who was one of his patients. I still have a photo of Ed and some other friends from St.Raymond's at a birthday party of mine when I was 10 or 11. My prayers are with you all.

I have known Ed for almost 30 years meeting Lois and he in Davenport, IA when he was a student at Palmer along with my ex-husband. The times and dreams we all had while financially struggling through Chiropractic School will always be remembered. One of the dreams that Ed and I often talked about was being able to maybe someday purchase a Harley, which we both eventually did. Numerous times when I have been out on my bike, in South Carolina, I have wondered if Ed was out riding, now I feel that he will be the Angel on my shoulder.

My condolences to Lois and the Giutini family, as Ed's zest for life will be missed greatly by all.

Ed had a tremendous passion for motorcycles and he pursued it with verve.
His friends at NITRO will miss his camaraderie and his humor.

Godspeed Ed...... May your roads be smooth from here on.

So sorry that Mike and I won't be able to make it to the services. We will miss him tremendously. I could always depend on Ed to say it how it really is. I was just 4 years old when I met Ed and have come to treasure any time that I have had with the Guintini family.
With all our love and tears!

Edward Giuntini will be missed by all who knew him. I have known him for 11 years, not only as my chiropractor but also as a mentor and a friend. I became a chiropractor because of Edward. I owe him a lot for that.
I also want to say how sorry I am to hear about him passing. To Lois, Jennifer, Jeremy and Edna I am deeply sorry. You will be in my thoughts.
Love,
