The life of our cowboy, the storyteller who blended music with art and humor, our witty joker
who could captivate by creating new words and original one-liners that made him distinctly “Geno” — your journey here has ended, and your eternal one has begun with Our Dear Lord.
You will be missed.
Love,
Your Family.
