Adrienne and Martha, I just heard from your mom about your husband/father. I am so sorry for your loss. I remember you were always there for (Aunt Rose)She always told me how she enjoyed being with you & Charlie by Aunt Adrienne's house. Love Glenn and Debbie Phillips
Continued from earlier post: Also tell your brother Eddie hello for us. He and my brother Larry were friends too. Larry now lives near Tampa FL. He just made 50 and has heart problems too. I also had a minor heart attack 3 years ago. Epidemic it seems. My older brother Donnie is fine except he lived in Chalmette. Of course you know what happened to his home. Right now he's living in a Fema trailer in front of it on Riverland Dr.
Hope this hasn't been too long or insensitive. I couldn't pass up the opportunity to say hello to old friends. I hope you don't mind. Once things settle and you get some time give me a call and we can meet for lunch or something. You can either email or call me at (504) 893-1981.
Again my deep sympathies fo your loss. Frances
To both Adriennes: Not sure if you remember me but I am the daughter of Joe and Eva Pizzuto from many years ago. Dad had the music box business and Mom used to play cards all the time. Whenn Adrienne and I were teens your Mom would give us money to "get lost" to go buy ice cream or pizza. Of course that was so long ago. Since then Dad passed in '76 and Mom in '81 both with heart attacks. Also lost brother Joe if you remember him in '87 same problem.
I was very surprised that I even noticed your names in the death notices today. Adrienne I didn't know your husband but from what I've read here he was well liked and will be missed. So, so sorry for your loss.
I also noticed you're living in Covington (so am I for 25 years now), moved from St. Bernard. I did remember that your Mom and Dad once lived in Arabi near the rail road tracks. I know you must have lost your home there. What a shock to be going thru all of this. I pray you will allow God to give you strength during this time that only he can do. I'm attending Church of the King near Hwy 59 / I-12 exit if you're looking for a good place to go. My son Jason is the youth pastor there. (To be continued due to word limit restrictions)...Frances
My Dear Adrienne, I was so sad to read about your husband in the paper today. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Remember our times at Adams and Reese. Billie
Adrienne,
George and I just learned about Charlie and were too late to attend visitation. Our condolences to you and your family in this time of sorrow. Know that we are thinking and praying for you.
Love Jana and George Tolar
Capt. Charles Gondolfi, my deepest sympathy to entire family and friends. To me, Mr. Gondolfi, was a joy to be around. he and I were on the same page concerning the celebrities we knew. He was missed during his illness, now words can't describe how much he will be kissed by me until: Jim Russell of Jim Russell Records 1837 Magazine St., New Orleans, La 70130
Dear Gino, Amy and family:
We were so sorry to hear about your father's death, please know that he will be remembered in our daily prayers as well as your family members. My deepest sympathy to all of you. Love, Alan and Lori Elmer
We will all miss the "Captain". His jolly laugh and caring demeanor. Our thoughts and prayers are with you Charlie. We will miss you dearly. God Bless.
I am so happy that I did, in fact, come and visit with my Brother Charles weekend before this just past. I always loved him and looked up to him as my Big Brother. He taught me how to take up for myself when I was just a very young kid. I will never forget this. He helped make a Man out of me. I will miss him greatly. I remember a few years ago I visited he and Ronnie. Charles always knew the Best of places to eat. Charlie's Steak House in N.O. (No Relation) was a great find for me. Love You Charlie.
UNCLE CHARLIE YOU WILL ALWAYS BE IN OUR HEARTS AND PRAYERS. WE LOVE YOU AND WILL MISS YOU ALWAYS. GOD BLESS, EDWARD, MELISSA, EDDIE & JUSTIN KRASS.
