I remember Gary years ago when the Cattafi's got together at Forlenza Family gatherings - members of each family combining to enjoy times together (with Patti and Joe). So many passings since those days. I remember Gary as being very tall and personable; a sweet, gentle man - a wonderful husband, Dad to his triplets and Son To Wilma and Richard. I'm the Matriarch (85) of my family which has shrunk to just 5 of us, but cherish the memories of good times with extended families many years ago. I'm sorry for his passing, but know his suffering is over, and he's with his Dad Richard who has been missed. My heart goes out to his wife, children, grand children, Mom, Willie and the rest of the family members who loved him. He will be missed until that glorious 'Family' Reunion over the rainbow one day. Please accept our Sympathies to ALL. Carolyn Cattafi and family (Lynn/Walter, Michael/Phyllis and me).
