Cindy and Family, I am sorry to hear of your Mr. Giannini's passing. He was always so nice and friendly towards me. Never hestitated to stop and talk and give me an update on what you were doing. I have missed seeing hin at his "Kroger" outings. It is hard to see our parents age and suffer, but now we know that he is at peace. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Teresa Coulter Gagliardi

Dear Bill & Cindy, I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your father. I worked for him for many years at Timet. Everyone thought the same about him - respect for his honesty, kind heart, sense of humor, but most of all for his loyality to his family and friends. He was one in a million - I will never, ever, forget him. God Bless.
