Gennaro Patrick Giannotti, beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle and friend, passed away peacefully on October 20, 2024, at the age of 76. Born on February 19, 1948, Gennaro lived a life filled with love, dedication, and commitment to family and friends. For 54 years, Gennaro shared a loving marriage with his devoted wife, Michelle Giannotti. Together, they built a life rooted in mutual respect and enduring love, leaving a legacy of kindness and strength. Their journey together was one marked by joy, resilience, and the beautiful family they nurtured. Gennaro is survived by his cherished children: Mary Michelle Giannotti-Kirby, and her children Griffin James, Harrison Michael, and Cameron Kirby; and his son, Gennaro Patrick Giannotti II, who, with his wife Cristine, continues the family tradition of love and unity with their children, Angelina Rose and Gennaro Patrick III. His children and grandchildren were his pride and joy, and he took great delight in watching them grow, sharing his wisdom, and celebrating their accomplishments. Gennaro is also survived by his loving brothers: John, and his wife Rosetta; Robert, and his wife Susan; and Michael, and his wife Gina. He was a cherished uncle to many nieces and nephews, who adored him and will remember their Uncle Jerry with fondness and gratitude for the unconditional love he shared with them. Gennaro will be remembered for his loving spirit, his devotion to family, and the countless people he pleased due to his constant kindness. He had a special way of making those around him feel valued, comforted and loved, and his presence brought warmth to every room. His legacy lives on in the memories of all who knew him and in the hearts of his family, who will carry his love with them, forever. To plant a beautiful memorial tree in memory of Gennaro P.
