    I am so sorry for your loss! Such wonderful memories at the house on Rooney Street and the “New house”. It was like a second home to me growing up and there was always room for one more.

    My condolences to the Giardina family on the loss of your father. I am the oldest of the Walsh siblings that lived close by on North High Street. There were lots of Giardina’s, Walshes, and Bendigs in that neighborhood. I graduated with David. Take care everyone.

    God’s speed to Mickey’s family for your loss of a great guy who I remember well from
    our days at the Bessemer & LE Railroad. He was a friendly, very fine man!

    To ALL of the Giardina Family—-
    We send our love and heartfelt condolences.
    Surely Mickey is happier now that he is reunited with his beloved “Ang,” but for those left behind there is
    an enormous void. We, too, shall miss his jokes and laughter, his enjoyment of family get-togethers, and his insistence that Father Knows Best. Usually.
    Until we meet again, cousin! Joey & Emily

    Dear Dave and family,
    What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch. We may not understand why you left this earth so soon, or why you left before we were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, we begin to remember not just that you died, but that you lived. And that your life gave us memories too beautiful to forget.
    Love,
    Jim

    To Dan and family.
    I can remember hauling a large dump truck full of cut stone to the”” new house” for completing the exterior of it. Real nice man and person. I got to know Dan for many years through our businesses. I remember going horseback riding one nice summer day with Dan and one of his boys when my dogs harvested several groundhogs along the ride . Bless PA PA and your whole family during this sad time.
