Frank, John, Julie, Jim, Mrs. G. and the entire Guadagnino Family,
While we are deeply saddened by "Mr. G" passing away, I have been thinking of all the great memories I have of him and your wonderful family. Seeing him driving around in that old blue VW Beetle. (Giving me a ride when he would see me walking/hitchhiking). Sitting around the kitchen table eating lunch and laughing at his great tales of Laramar Avenue days. Christmas eve on Keefer Drive. Eating smelts and anchovy Aioli. He always got a kick out of how much I loved it. He was a good, kind and caring man. He will always live in our hearts. Much love to all, your old friend Larry.

Jim and Family,
I am very sorry for your loss. Your father was a good man and a good baseball coach. My memories of him are of course during those two years of Penn Hills Pony League (1976/77) and that rivalry between the Seals and the Owls. I can still see him bringing your team off the field after that tie game at Duff Field that was called because of darkness. He was cheering you guys on because it had been such a great game. I believe he also coached us as All Stars. I just remember my Dad telling me to, " say thank you to Mr Guadagnino, he is a very good coach." My sympathies to you and your brothers and sister. I will keep you all in my prayers.

Johnny,
Sorry to hear about the passing of your Dad. I remember him going to Dr. Antonucci's house for Monday night football. Yeah, my dad would bring me along and I would fall asleep. Your Dad would just smile at me every time I saw him. You always did the same. Hope to see you soon John. Best to you and your wonderful family. Dow
