Geno and I worked together for years. He was a quiet man who believed strongly in family, friends and a hard work ethic. Everyone could always count on Geno to smile and be courteous. My heart goes out to his family for their loss.

I'm almost at a lost for words to learn of the passing of a long time friend who would and could keep you laughing all the time in his presence. I'm sure he'll be sorely missed by the many loved ones as he's made his transition to be with the Father, he will not be forgotten. Prayers for the comfort of the family during and beyond these difficult times, God bless,.......!!
