  1. Dear uncle Gediminas was a man with a capital letter… Of course, the distance separated us, but it did not hinder communication. The last time I saw my dear uncle Gediminas in Lithuania, I sat on his shoulders when I was six years old. Now I am 37 years old, but uncle and the last moment have remained for 31 years. He was a wonderful person, understanding, compassionate, had a sense of humor.
    The Paliulioni family from Lithuania sends their condolences to his wife and family.

    Rest in peace dear uncle Gediminas…

  2. We LOVE Al‼️From the moment we met him till the day we left the lake he has always been one of the most special people in our lives! He taught Jake how to play golf and we had so many fun times together on and off the course! Loved his evening visits when he would pop over and just chat with us!
    He will leave a big hole in our hearts!
