Gerardo was born August 20, 1936 in Guardia Lombari, a small town in Italy. Upon getting married, he and Filomena then moved to Canada to start their new lives. He was an avid lover of italian music and often filled the house with his accordion playing. He also loved playing italian cards with friends and telling stories of his mischievous younger days in Italy. 

Gerardo peacefully left this earth with having a happy life on earth and family full of love. God bless his new journey.
