RIP My Geno ~ A Tribute to a Life of Passion and Inspiration!

By
Real Estate Agent with Coldwell Banker Realty ~ 512.750.6899

It's truly astonishing that five years have passed since your departure from this world on September 30, 2019. We considered ourselves a dynamic duo in real estate and away from work we traveled the world hand and in hand, exploring new horizons around the globe.

If you had the privilege of knowing Geno, your world undoubtedly expanded and brightened. His infectious smile, witty humor, and invaluable advice/mentorship were a gift to all who crossed his path. Whether you were a fleeting acquaintance, a colleague, a new friend, or an old one, Geno had a remarkable way of making your day better.

Geno was the guiding light for our family, ready to move mountains for his beloved grandchildren. His zest for life, his playful antics, and his authentic love for people continue to resonate. He is indelible in our hearts, and not a day passes without thoughts of him, reminiscences of our shared adventures, or someone sharing a cherished Geno story.

We all dearly miss how he lived each day with unwavering passion and purpose, inspiring others by exemplifying a life of joy, kindness, tenderness, and adventure.

My mind still

Talks to you. My

Heart still looks for you

But my soul knows

You’re at peace. I miss

You every single day.

Dorie- I too remember and find it hard to believe it's been 5 years. If anyone questioned whether or not true love exists, they have only to ready your beautiful tribute to Geno. I will reiterate what I've said many times...I regret not having the opportunity to meet your Geno. But...I feel like I know him just a little thanks to your loving words.

It is really difficult when we lose someone special.  I still mourn the loss of my mother who passed in 1975. I know how much you must miss Geno.
