One's legacy lies in the lives he has touched and the people that love him that he leaves behind. Mr. Gattozzi was clearly a wonderful, interesting person who leaves the world with a loving and proud family to keep his memory alive. May he rest in peace in God's hands. He and the Gattozzi family will be included in our prayers.
