Mrs. M., So very sorry to hear of your loss. You and Serge are two of the nicest people we have met in our 30 plus years on St Joe Rd. Serge always had a smile and a twinkle in his eye. He never had a bad word-instead he would remind us to be thankful for all the riches of everyday life. Such a kind and gentle man. We have lost a member of our extended family. All our love and prayers- The Demetroffs from River Bend Pizza---- Alex Denise Marisa and Lexie

My condolences to the family. I loved Serg so much. We worked together at Shambaugh with the PTA. I could sit and talk with for hours about his life in Italy and coming to America. He was a sweet giving man with a great family.

We met Sergio at Shambaugh and he was such an integral part of the school and the community. All of the kids and teachers loved him and he always brightened the halls with his laugh and smile. He was always in great spirits. He understood what it meant to give back and was always volunteering and helping others. The world has lost such a wonderful person. My condolences to the family and please know that Sergio had such an amazing impact on thousands of lives. Sending prayers.
