To the entire Gambino family,
My wife and I knew Jeff from his bartending days at Freddies Tavern. He always greeted us with a smile, he always talked about his family, and how he used to make his own wine. We would always try to go there on the nights he was working, we enjoyed talking to him. We are truly sorry for your loss, he was a great guy.

Dear Sandra,

I saw posts on Facebook, but never realized it was your husbands passing until now. I did not know him, but I know you since you were a freshman at Notre Dame. My heart grieves with you as my sister lost her husband at the same age several years ago with two girls for her to raise. I know the struggles you will have both emotionally and psychologically. Stay strong Sandy, they will look toward you for strength and you come like me from a strong Italian Family. They will always be there for you. May Heaven Welcome Its Servant Jeffrey into the Heavenly Realm and Grant Him Eternal Rest With The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit. Amen.

Love Always,

Pete Lieggi
