Bruno Giorgi Obituary

GIORGI, Bruno Vincent

On Saturday, June 23, 2007, Bruno Vincent Giorgi died unexpectedly at home; he was 77. He was born to Ida Cecchettini and Bruno Giorgi in East Sacramento.

After graduating from Christian Brothers High School, he served in the Army in Korea and Japan. Upon return, he married his high school sweetheart Doris and moved to Carmichael where they recently celebrated their 54th anniversary. Together, they loved and were proud of their two daughters, sons-in-law and grandsons Nancy and Gary Mullins, Cathy and Eric Brady, and Nicolas and Max Brady.

As a member of the Piedmonte Reale and Operating Engineer's Union Local 3, he was fast to point out I "paved that road" or "graded that subdivision."

Bruno leaves behind a tractorsized hole and will be greatly missed by his wife, daughters, sons-in-law, and grandsons, in addition to his sisters Gloria Galeotti (Mario, deceased) and Patricia Bertacchi, sister-in-law Gloria Gospodnetich, brothers-in-law, Richard Bertacchi and Jerry Gospodnetich, nieces and nephews Ricky (Sandy), Steven, Tony, Lynn, Paul (Maureen), David (Alice), Linda, John (Traci), eight great-nieces and nephews and many other family, friends, and acquaintances as Bruno didn't know any strangers.

He will always be remembered as a bear of a man with his booming voice and a smile full of life and laughter, whose greatest joy was spending time with his family and friends.

Funeral service of remembrance is 10:00 AM on Thursday, June 28, at St. John Catholic Church, Carmichael. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to any charity of choice.

Doris, Nancy, and Kathy:

Have just finished reading the many notes posted in the Guest Book, and I'd like to add to it. Couldn't have asked for a better neighbor for the past 38 years, and we will miss him terribly. No more sharing of the grapefruit each winter. No more sounds coming from the backyard as he talked to the grandsons each day. No more conversations about the lawn, the yard, the neighborhood, Irag, immigration, or the many other subjects we've covered over the years.
Words can not express our grief at his loss. Life is so fragile and it puts us all on notice to enjoy today, for tomorrow we may be gone.
Thanks for the wonderful memories Bruno!

Your neighbors and friends.

I remember Bruno from years ago as being a fun loving guy that was always friendly to me. My sympathy to all of his family and let his memory live on.

Doris and Girls, Your Dad was great, I loved to see my Dad(Renaldo) and your Dad and Richard all 3 of them together. The laughter and love was great. He will be missed by many. I wish you all the best. Love Sandy Ferrari-Andress.

Doris, Nancy and Kathy,
Bruno or as our Mom and Dad would refer to him Jr. has always been one of my favorite guys. I loved his stories and that smile and wink would make one wonder. I always enjoyed coming to Sacto to visit because Bruno would tell the wonderful stories about my grandfather Nono Giorgi. Through those stories I got to know my grandfather and I will always cherish the time I got to spend with Bruno. Heaven has gained another angel (and one that will keep them all laughing).
I am sorry I cannot be there for the service but Brent and I will be coming to Sacto after August and we will call and come see you. All my love to you, Love Nancy

Dar Doris and family, my heartfelt condolences to all. As a neighbor of Kathy and Eric I was blessed to know Bruno. He was a wonderful person to know and I will miss his hearty laugh, quick smile and whole hearted enthusiasm. I will think of him often - probably every time I drink a glass of red wine - which he often shared with myself and other neighbors. He will be greatly missed.

Growing up next door to Bruno as a kid was a great experience; you couldn't ask for a better, more friendlier neighbor. His interest in what we kids did, and his availability for conversation at anytime, made my brother and I feel like we were sons he never had (at least until his daughters got married). And from the sounds of it, Bruno had that same impact on most everyone he knew or met. If you knew Bruno; you were part of his family.
Since moving out over 20 years ago, every time I visited my parents, I looked forward to seeing and talking with Bruno - disapointed if all I had a chance to get was a wave and a smile when I drove by. I'm going to really miss that burly "Hello", that great big handshake and that sincere interest in hearing what I've been up to lately.
He is, and always will be, the nextdoor neighbor that I will constantly strive to be like.

I will always remember Bruno for his incredible sense of humor and infectious smile which he definitely passed onto his loving daughter, Cathy. Please give yourselves time to heal and support each other during this time of need. Bruno will continue to live on in memory. May peace be with you and your family. xoxoxoxox

I only met Bruno a few times, but my, how he could fill up a room with love and goodwill. He lives on in his family, who share that trait. I send my deepest sympathies to you all.

Doris, Cathy and Nancy-
Bruno was pure love! Love for his family, friends and everyone he touched! I don't recall the details of our first meeting or conversation, but it was as if I have always known him. I wanted him to adopt me as so many others did as well. I will truly miss our phone banter and I'm happy I got to speak to him on Friday. I suspect he will give me a call sometime and hang up on me just for fun! I can't wait!

Doris and Family,

Your loss is shared with so many others who cherish Bruno’s friendship and the memories we have. He was the first to welcome us as neighbors and always gave us so much support and caring from the moment we met. Our sons both adored him and we all looked forward to seeing him every day. Matthew loved to greet him every morning and get his daily hugs and high fives. Jared would share a Karate lesson, with Bruno right there to show him some of his own moves or give him a handshake. He was our neighborhood encyclopedia, a Grandfather figure, and a vibrant man who brought an incredible amount of joy to our daily life. I still expect to see him, standing next to his truck, garage door open, as he monitored the neighborhood or visited with a friend. We could count on him to give advice, bags of grapefruits, a much needed tool, or to share a hilarious joke with an infectious smile! He was so very proud of his family and just the mention of his Grandsons would make him light up. We are thankful that he chose to share with us, all the love he had for his family, his wonderful stories, observations and worldly advice. We miss him tremendously. He was truly a blessing, who touched our lives more than you will know.

Bruno, you were one of a kind! I feel so fortunate to have met you several times and feel like I really knew you through all of the wonderful and hilarious stories told by your daughter. I know I just got a few of the stories and there must be hundreds more - stories and memories that I know will keep your family close to you always. To Bruno's family: My very deepest sympathies. Lynda

Dear Nancy and Mrs Giorgi, I still can not believe the sad news from Saturday morning. Your loving home was always the place to be when we were kids back in the 70's- Bruno 's great laugh , great advice , and welcoming embrace helped to keep us as honest as we could be back in those days ! He had our number, for sure! And loved us anyway! I loved beening at your house back then , and always meant to stop by to say Hi again. I sure wish I had. What a wonderful man he was, a real man, a man you could look up to, They just don't make em like that anymore, and I am honored to have known him. I can truly say that he was one of those adults who impacted my life back then , he was honest and genuine and strong. What a legacy he has left. I will keep you all in my prayers, especially his precious grandsons, whom I know have been the light of his life. May God hold you close, just as He is holding Bruno now. Love, Karen (Retza) Snook
