To JoJo and entire DiAlbert family, my sincere and heartfelt condolences on Gary's passing. The last time I saw him, I believe, was during our 20th reunion w/e over at Follansbee Park. It was like we were back @ St. Anthony's and CCHS, the tales just kept coming and coming and we all laughed for hrs. He was so special and the news of his passing was just shocking, actually. My prayers shall be with you and yours at this most sorrowful time. Debbie (Cosentino), Allan and AJ Valuska

To the DiAlbert Family, I am truly sorry about the passing of Roundo. He was the coolest and classiest man I knew. I loved when he lived in Las Vegas with my brother Brummy. The house was always clean and he was so amusing especially when he came home from the Ghetto Bar. I loved watching the Waterboy movie with him, he wathced it over and over and knew all the words. He treated my dearest mother wonderful. He bought her a dozen of roses and took her to an Isaleys Brothers concert on Valentines Day some years ago. We both love him. He will be truly missed by all who knew him. God threw away the mold when he created Roundo cause he was one of a kind. Thank God for memories cause I'm sure everyone who knew him has wonderful memories of him. My prayers, thoughts and sympathy go to his family and all who knew and loved him. xoxo Lala Leone.

To the DiAlbert family: You have my sincere sympathy and I am deeply sad to hear the news of Roundos' passing. He was a good guy and friend and I can't think of anyone who I hung out with more through childhood, past our twenties, until life took us to different ends of the country but he was one of those unique friends that after 30 years you could pick right up where you left off I regret that I didn't have the opportunity to visit him when he needed his friends the most and I wish life would have given him a few more breaks my partner in crime you were loved and you will be missed and for sure never forgotten rest in peace my brother,Love

First of all I offer my heartfelt sympathy to the DiAlbert Family. Loving memories of Gary will sustain you through this sad time and nurture your healing. Gary, I've known you a long time....as boy and man. Ran in the backfield with you for the Hawks. Played tackle on the side of the tracks on Railraod Ave with you, Anthony and Francis. Hung out in front of your house in the Southend. Graduated together from CCHS. Over the years, I have always admired you and always called you friend. My deep regret is that we never got a chance to hang out when we were older. Be at peace my brother...you will be missed by all of us who knew you.

Dear Mrs. DiAlbert, Jimmy, Joey, Johnny and Susie, may God bless your family as you grieve Gary's passing. Gary, when I would see him through the years in Steubenville, was always upbeat, friendly, funny, kind and certainly would speak his mind. I can remember hanging out at the DiAlbert's in grade school with Susie and her friends and me and my friends from Catherdral, and Gary making sure we knew he was Susie's older brother. Love all of you guys. John (Fex)

To my cousin, how my heart breaks for you and your family. You are such a special person. I will always remember how you made us laugh. You always walked into our home on St.Joseph and said "Party" and we knew Gary's was there and we all wanted to sit and enjoy your company! How my sisters loved hanging out with you Karen & Sheryl, I was a little younger so i missed out on alot of fun. My brothers Michael aka Stick, Koots and Little Toby will also miss your funny sense of humor and how you could light a room just walking in. My mom Delores adored you and my dad Toby too. Thank you for being you and bringing so much happiness to our lives growing up. You will be forever missed.

Dear Gary, we go back many years to the Rio and the MGM. You were my buddy for a long time. In fact, when we were first hired & started working at the MGM many thought we were married. It was our own little inside joke. You will always be remembered for that crazy sense of humor and that smile on your face. My heart goes out to your wonderful family. You are missed, my friend. Love, Fran
