Ethyle,

How sad to learn of Gene's passing. I know you will miss him terribly and am sure you have many fond memories of your companionship throughout the many years spent together. The two of you shared a great joie de vivre.

Mrs. Giuseppe, Jimmy, and family:



We were saddened to hear of Mr. Giuseppe's passing. We have very fond memories of him and his love of sports and the community at large. His passion for the "Greene Dragons" was unquestionable. May God guide you through these trying times.

Coach,



I'll miss you. Even though I didn't see you often, I have taught many of the baseball and basketball techniques you taught us at WMHS in the 60s. Thanks again.

Mrs. Guiseppe and family:

I'm so sorry to hear of Mr. Guiseppe's passing. Mr. G was my principle at the old Elementary School that is now the Tech Center on Rt 33. He was the kindest man and I loved him dearly. I'll never forget him. He was kind enough to attend my wedding in 1987 and was always so sweet. He died on my birthday. He has and always will hold a special place in my heart.
