JOE GUZZARDI
LONG TIME FRIEND OF THE VALLEY FLYERS AND GIANT SCALE SQUADRON
FROM AN EMAIL FROM SUSAN GUZZARDI:
After more than six months of battling the effects of congestive heart failure, Joe wore out and left us early Tuesday morning (July 16th). He passed away peacefully in his sleep, which is a blessing. He will be cre-mated and buried in the National Cemetery in Riverside CA as soon as arrangements can be made. The girls and I are okay. We knew it was coming, but didn’t think it would be this soon. We think he knew it was coming too because he told his Board & Care caregiver Monday night “I’m gonna go flying.” He always said he wasn’t gonna leave unless there was a “flying field up there.” Tori posted this announcement on Facebook: “Friends and family, I sadly have to share that my dad Joe Guzzardi passed away last night. He was 88, and went peace-fully in his sleep. Many of you know he had been bouncing between the hospitals and rehab since the beginning of the year, and we want to thank everyone for their prayers and well wishes during that time. Details about services will come later, once everything’s sorted out. For now, please keep my family close to your hearts. 3 Fly high, Dadoo 3” When the girls were in high school, Joe used to pick them up, along with a bunch of their friends. They all piled into the back of his pickup truck and he took them all to their homes. He was “Dadoo” to all of them. Su
