We will miss you, Geno! Thank you for always being there for my family, for my dad, and for me while I've been trying to help my dad. It meant so much. This world lost a great man the day you went home. This breaks my heart. We love you, Geno. Btw, you were "important" for that picture and I should've pressured you into it. Lol. Praying for your family.

My heart is so broken that I don't even have the words to say other than Geno was a great man with a big heart who touched the lives of countless people. He made a difference in the lives of hundreds if not thousands of kids. His shoes can't be filled. I pray that God would wrap His arms around Geno's family and hold them close to His heart and comfort them in this time of great sorrow.

We will always remember him as a kind and gentle person.
His spirit will always be remembered by our family.

We offer our condolences to his family.
