My condolences to Angie, Bruce & Chyanne. My husband & I had lots of laughs with Geno at the old Covington Bar & Grill before Tony passed in 2016. Our insurance office was close so Geno would stop by with a new story or joke and always a smile. He was one in a million. I also remember your mother Darlene. She was a sweetheart.. .. So sorry for your loss.
