Gaetano Paul Manzi, M.D. “Doc”, 73, born in Itri, Italy, and resident of Sarasota, Florida, went home to be with the Lord on August 3, 2024 surrounded by his wife and two daughters in his final moments. His wife, Esther, daughters, Alice and Michelle, sons-in-law, Jonathan and Dan, and grandchildren, Charley, Heidi, Samuel, and Theodore will miss him most dearly. He leaves behind his loving siblings, Francesca, Pia, Leopoldo, Lucia and Marisa, who will always hold a special place in their hearts for him. His selflessness, warmth and wisdom will never be forgotten. He will always be in the hearts of those who knew and loved him. We are comforted knowing he has found never-ending joy and love in the arms of his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. He is preceded by his brother Valerio, and his father and mother, Salvatore and Vincenza Manzi.
A graveside burial will take place at 11am Wednesday August 7th, 2024 at Manasota Memorial Park and a celebration of life is being planned in New York in a few weeks, details will be sent out in the upcoming weeks.
