A life of depth and substance is measured not just in years but in the values carried forward through family. To have raised seven children is to have set in motion generations shaped by your influence Luigi. Although we never met you, Penelope has become part of our family and spoke lovingly of you; her strength, integrity, and compassion are a clear reflection of your legacy. A man of conviction leaves behind more than memories - he leaves a standard to live by. Rest well Luigi, knowing your mark endures. The Gaze Family

Wishing you, the Canal family, my sincere condolences for the loss of such a great man. Known to me as "Uncle" Luigi, he always left an impression and it was a pleasure to have him in our lives. Rest in peace Uncle Luigi!
