It's been almost a year since we said goodbye to Brandino, he is still missed by family andrends. He left a beautiful family which I have the privilege of being part of. God bless you Brandino.

Although you could not see us there the day you took Papa to his final resting place please understand that WE were with you, broken hearts in a distant land.
We are thankful everyday for being Blessed that you shared Papa and have shared your lives with us. Some folks never meet their Dad, some do but very few have a chance to say they actually had a Papa as we can. For us the meaning of Love, Support, Kindness and Understanding is The Giannoni Family. Papa passed on Three Kings Day and it seems so fitting that an Escort of Kings would be leading him up to Heaven. We Love You and we will miss Papa very much. We are here for you always. Love from two of The Adopted Kids, Rubino and Patty

Te Amo Papa - Gracias.

Everything that happens to us in this life has a purpose, a lesson to be learned if one is open to it and I firmly believe that the reason I met Brandino Giannoni and his family was to teach me the earthly definition of love, family values and what it means to be truly wealthy. My sincere condolences to The Giannoni Family during this most difficult time as my thoughts and prayers are with you. Thank you for the lesson and making me feel welcome as though I was both a son and a brother. All my love...Charlie:-)

My deepest condolences to your family. Mr Giannoni has a special place in my heart, as does your whole family. I will always remember riding the Diversey bus on my way to high school school & he would sit with me and was always interested in what I had to say & what I was doing. He was a special man. I can't think back on my childhood without thinking of your family. My love & prayers to you all.

My condolences go out to you and your family. I always got a kick out of your father coming in to my currency exchange to pay his bills over the last 38 years. My thoughts are with you at this sad time. Arnie

My sympathy to the entire family. His children were by his side every moment of the day and night. They took GREAT care of their father. He is finally at rest and suffering no more. Goodbye Brandino :(

January 7, 2012

I will always remember Brandino tending his garden and chasing his many sons around the yard next to ours. Time passes so quickly and it seems not that long ago that we were all kids on Greenview. My thoughts and prayers are with your whole family.
