So sad, we just learned of his passing. He was a great man, may his memory be eternal. Please know our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Hi Gia, I am sorry to hear of the loss of your father. He was a wonderful man and I was so glad to have known him. My heart is with you all. Love, Tessie
Our deepest sympathies to the entire family for your loss. Dear Thea Mary, Gia, Effie, Renie, Bill, Jack, Tassos, Billy, and Yianno: We cannot express enough the deep sorrow for the passing away of your husband/father/father-in-law/grandfather. May God rest his soul in heaven and may you be comforted that he is no longer suffering. Always remember and treasure all of the good times. I cannot stop thinking of his smile and laughter, particularly at Hava-Bite, in Fairfax back in the days when we first met. To this day, he had served one of the best pizzas and the best cheese-steak subs I have ever had. His food encompassed the passion and love he had for life! Continue in his path and always do the best you can – he wants it that way! Love, George and Melissa Gasparis
I’m so sorry to hear about your father. I remember back in the early 90’s coming into “Hav a Bite” with Tom and loved talking with your parents. Such amazing people. Please give a hug to your Mom. Lova to all. Susan
