GERARDO M. PICARDI

PICARDI, Gerardo M. "Jerry" Age 83; passed away, February 9, 2022, at home surrounded by his loving family. He leaves his beloved wife of 62 years, Carmela (DiPierro); their children, Natalina Colucci and her husband Stefano of Stoneham, Doris Picardi of Everett, Maria Ingrando and her husband Jeffrey of Everett, Lisa Picardi of Everett and her fiance Max; his loving grandchildren, Angelo, Daniela, Gerardo, Julianna, Geoffrey, Gina and Sophia; his brothers Giovanni and his late wife Letizia, Carlo and his wife Caterina, all of Chiusano San Domenico, Italy; his sister Francesca "Nina" and her husband Emidio of Florence, Italy; his sister-in-law Giuseppina also of Chiusano San Domenico, Italy. He is predeceased by his parents Michele and Natalina (Santoro); his brother Antonio and his wife Carmela and his brother Soccorso. He is also survived by many nieces and nephews that he adored.

When Gerardo was well, you would find him in his notorious garden at the house on the corner among the many vegetables he grew, feeding his bunnies, or in front of Square Drug, after picking up the Italian newspaper discussing the daily news with his friends. He was an avid Inter Milan soccer fan and spent his Sunday mornings in the North End watching soccer games. He was passionate about his yearly collection for San Michele that he did for his hometown in Italy. He made sure every person he collected from was listed and their names were read during the feast back home.

His Funeral Service will be held Tuesday, February 15, 2022, at 10 a.m. at Saint Anthony's Church, 38 Oakes St., Everett. Burial will be immediately following at Woodlawn Cemetery. Visitation will be held at Salvatore Rocco and Sons Funeral Home, 331 Main Street, EVERETT from 4:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m. on Monday, February 14, 2022.
