GAROZZO, Salvatore (Sam)

In Loving Memory
Salvatore (Sam) Garozzo
25/02/2029 – 05/02/2024

A year has passed, the seasons turned,
Since Sam, our father, gently learned,
To leave this earth, his work complete,
Ninety-four years, a life so sweet.
Fifth of February, a date we hold,
A memory etched, more precious than gold.
Strong hands that toiled, a spirit so bright,
He built from nothing, with all his might.
Garozzo's Agencies, a testament true,
To vision and grit, and all he could do.
Frances, Rosie, and Lui, his pride and his joy,
His love a constant, for girl and for boy.
A faith so deep, a love of the Lord,
Guiding his steps, his spirit restored.
With St. Alfio, Filadelfio, and Cirino above,
Watching his family, bathed in their love.
Gardening hands, that nurtured and grew,
Fresh fruit he savored, a taste he well knew.
Seven grandchildren, a blessing so grand,
Six great-grandchildren, held in his hand,
(Or in his heart, where love will reside).
With Alfina now, by his loving side,
A reunion sweet, in a heavenly place,
Where love shines eternal, with infinite grace.
He travelled the world, saw wonders untold,
But Cairns was his haven, more precious than gold.
Simple his life, family his core,
Love overflowing, forevermore.
So we remember, with hearts full of love,
Sam Garozzo's spirit, soaring above.
His legacy lives, in all that he's done,
A father, a Nonno, a life well-won.
