Condolences to the Family

I was sorry to see that my Uncle Giro had passed away, not in Florida, but in Lititz – so close to where I live. I would have loved to have seen him one last time. I am hoping that a family member might contact me. I am not looking for anything but to know about him more, for I am the genealogist of this branch of the family. Giro’s first wife, Mary Jane Kelley was my Father Robert’s sister. Here is my contact info:  Patricia (Pat) Kelley Sacks, kelleygirl0906@gmail.com or 1412 Farr Road, Reading, PA  19611 (610-334-1383). Thanks, Pat

I was truly sorry to hear of Giro’s passing and that because I was away, could not go to his service. I enjoyed interpreting for him at St. John Neumann church for those many years.
He was such a lovely man and will be missed.
