Garry Phillip Rinaldi

Garry Rinaldi, what a good man, what a good life.  64 years he lived on this earth and 42 of them with his loving wife, Rita.  He has three amazing children, Rico (wife Rebecca), Gino (wife Sabrina), and daughter, Rebecca (fiancé Bobbie); and six beautiful grandchildren, Brielle, Gianni, Abrianna, Ellory, Juliette and Dominic. Garry was preceded in death by his father, George Rinaldi Sr.; and his sister, Sharron Prairie.

Family was the most important thing in his life and all he did, he did for us.  He was happiest sharing a glass of wine, a shot of tequila or some good scotch while cooking a meal for family and friends.  If a Broncos game was on, even better.  After serving his country for 20 years he retired from the US Army as a Lt. Colonel.  He then continued helping the military as an aerospace engineer, anything to help his brothers and sisters in arms.  My man's life was filled with so much love from so many friends and family... to many to mention and you know who you are, including his brothers, Geoff Rinaldi, Abram Prairie and Dale Prairie; and his many nieces and nephews.  Garry's legacy is the things books are written about: love, family, true friendship, loyalty and honor.

Here's to you Garry.  My Man.  We love you.
