He was preceded in death by the love of his life, his wife, Amelia "Molly" Jankowski after almost 60 years of marriage.
He was born June 15, 1933 in Batavia, a son of the late Frank and Jennie Brzeczkowski Jankowski.
Geno was dedicated to his wife and his 5 children, as well as his grand and great- grandchildren, often mentioning how much his family meant to him. He and Molly were snowbirds for many years, spending winters in Largo, Florida and summers at Silver Lake in Perry, NY. His sense of humor was a trait that drew people in.
He was an avid sportsman who enjoyed fishing, hunting and golfing. He was also a lover of all sporting events and spent many of his younger days coaching baseball as well as watching his children and grandchildren engage in their individual sports.
He was a diehard Buffalo Bills fan who hoped every year for a Super Bowl win, and was a season ticket holder for many years. He passed on that love (and heartache) of the Bills to many of his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
He was a member of Ascension Parish in Batavia and St. Joseph's Church in Largo, where he was an usher.
He was employed for almost 50 years as a Chief Draftsman at Graham Manufacturing prior to his retirement and took up a job in Largo at a golf course during the winter.
He was a Korean war era veteran, having served in the U.S. Army from 1953 to 1955, and traveled throughout Europe before coming home and marrying his wife.
Geno was a loving father and husband and will be missed but never forgotten.
