Our deepest condolences to the entire Scalise/Leo families. George was genuinely a good, kind man! Find comfort in knowing you will have your special angel watching over all of you as he celebrates from up above.
Love & Big Hugs from the “Bertagnia Girl “ as George would call me.
The man with a story or a joke always. Gabe was more family than friend and will be missed not only by us but by many. To have know him for so long was a blessing. Rest in peace dear friend
Rest in peace Giorgio. You were dear to the Puccioni family for a long time. I will remember your kind soul and times spent in my grandparents kitchen.
I met Gib at Cummins Diesel in 1976, He was a good friend to a young mechanic just starting out. You will be missed.
Lifting you up in prayer . We loved Mr Scalise “ George” he was the kindest , most loving , friend . He will be missed . Love to all of your family .
Dear Frank, I was very sorry to read about the death of your father. It’s been many years since we’ve seen each other, the 82nd Field Hospital Unit, cooks section was the last time I believe. You were always a very kind and gentle person and I just wanted you to know that I will pray for you and yours to help you through this difficult time. May God Bless.
It is with great sadness that I found out about his death. He was such a wonderful man. Great family friend and always remembered my birthday and asked how I was. My parents were great family friends of his and this is truly a very sad time. My prayers and thoughts go out to his family and many friends. We lost a great man. My greatest memories of him was him coming to visit my dad and mom and bring us bread. We would also go to his house when he lived with Rose, and they made a great Italian dinner. Memories last forever, gone but never forgotten! Rest in Peace. Much Love Bobby Joe.
