I am so deeply sorry for your loss. Your father, mother, along with your entire family, have always been part of some of the happiest memories of my childhood. The many family gatherings, the family trips, the camaraderie of your father and mine…your father was a representative of a beautiful generation of immigrant men who built solid, safe and beautiful lives for their children. He was always kind, always smiling.
God rest his soul. Reunited with his bride, and my dad, and all his loved ones, in heaven with our Almighty Father.
Ecclesiastes 12:7 – And the dust returns to the earth as it was, and the spirit returns to God who gave it.
He will be deeply missed. A kind man with a big heart. Rest in peace.
Guy will be forever missed. He was such a wonderful man, friendly to everyone. We were so fortunate to have known him. Rest in peace.
Our deepest condolences.🙏💕
Gaetano, porterò caro il ricordo di te e della tua famiglia. Degli anni ’60, prima della tua emigrazione, e degli incontri che abbiamo avuto, in Canada e a Vinchiaturo. Sono certo che darai serenità a quanti hanno avuto la fortuna di conoscerti. Riposa in pace.
Our deepest sympathies to you and your family, Guy was great person and wonderful father and grandfather,
We were lucky to know him.
The Haryott Family
