What a character Gaeton was! I'll always remember his story about swimming in the river (the Hudson?) with all the flotsam and jetsam floating alongside him. And at this time in particular, Jean, I'm thinking of you. Still treasure our friendship, our time together as new mothers. Hope you and Christina are doing very well!

Gaeton would have had a lot to say about this pandemic and the political craziness. At least he didn't have to endure these challenging times. Nevertheless we miss him.

Jean --
I have so many fond memories of Gaeton.  As you know, he, John Ryan, and I spent many, many hours serving our Amoco Oil marketing clients.  Despite the sometimes very challenging deadlines and expections (and last-minute changes), he always did whatever it took to get the job done.  That's because he was a talented professional who earned the respect of those clients and his P&GA/Graphic Arts peers.  
We talked a lot over those Amoco years, so I know how much you "girls" meant to him -- then and, I'm sure, during those last moments at his bedside.  
He will be missed by all who knew him.

I'm not sure I found out in time to make the guest book. Gaeton was a major Character in my life. As I was president of CATS for a number of years, he was a person with whom I could fall back. His sense of humor and his knowledge helped me hurdle our problems and future decisions. I would have liked to work with him in the business world. Gaeton will be missed.He left us too soon.

Jean and Christine,
My sincere condolences on the loss of dear Gaeton. I'm praying for that peace that our Heavenly Father only can give. And may all of those so special memories help to comfort you in the days ahead.

Dearest Jean and Christina,
I am so very sorry to hear of your loss. Gaeton was always such a fighter I thought he'd win this one too. He was such a tough one always fought to the end. I will always remember our little squabbles on the courts he used to make me so mad but I loved him anyway.  My love and prayers will always be with you.

Jean and Cristina - I am so sorry for your loss. Gaeton is up in heaven playing tennis with D and arguing about where the ball falls. Am sure they have had several "time-outs" by now. You're both in my thoughts and prayers and hope you keep all those happy memories close to help you through the rough spots. I love you both. Suz
