My thoughts and prayers are with the DiGiannantonio family---Gioia was a very special client and friend.

I will miss every wonderful story, your face lighting up when you saw the little kiddos, and all your ideas for great books to be written or movies to be made.  Thanks Uncle Gioia for teaching me so much about where you came from and about your incredible life story, and always speaking highly of those you loved the most.  You were a man who loved deeply and you fought this battle as long as you were able.  We'll sit and talk again some day soon.. Love "John John"

Francesco and family.  My deepest regrets for the significant loss of someone you hold so dear.  In memories nothing is lost...

From the first time I met Gioia and Maria I wanted them to adopt me. I loved hearing his stories about Italy, that were told with such humor. What a brilliant,brilliant man. You will be deeply missed, and your storied will never be forgotten. I am heartbroken that we will not be sharing a bottle of wine and more stories. Bless you Mr. Digiannantonio, and your beautiful family.

"Eternal rest grant unto him O Lord and let perpetual light shine upon him"
