The family would like to sincerely thank all the Nurses, Staff and Volunteers in the Mary Potter Hospice at Calvary, North Adelaide, for their warm and generous care of Gennaro and the family during his final days.

Gennaro was the heart of our family, a man whose life was defined by love, laughter and music. He brought warmth into every room he entered and left a lasting impression on everyone who had the privilege of knowing him.

His kindness, strength, gentle spirit and smile will be remembered always.

A devoted husband, a loving father, and a proud Nonno, Gennaro’s greatest joy was his family. He will live on through the memories we shared, the stories we will continue to tell, and the love he so generously gave to us all.

Forever loved, forever missed and never forgotten.

“One golden heart

stopped beating,

two toiling arms at rest.

God broke our hearts

to prove to us,

He only takes the best.

You fought so hard

to stay with us,

your fight was all in vain,

God looked upon

your weary face, and

freed you from the pain.

Your memories are

a keepsake,

from which we will

never part,

God has you in His keeping,

We have you in our hearts.”
