    Notes:

    I arrived on this earth October 3, 1950 and today, January 19, 2017, my worldly journey has come to an end. I have been blessed in so many ways throughout my lifetime.
    Blessed with a family of two beautiful, sincere, loving children. My heart, Andrea (Giambattista) Stevens; and my strength, Serofino Agostino Giambattista. A son-in-law that I could not ask more from, Gordon Stevens. My loving grandson, Blake Serafino Stevens; loving parents, Serofino 'Sam' and Martha (Marinucci) Giambattista; and brother, Anthony (Kathy) Giambattista. Dearest in-laws, Marie (late Louis) Filicetti; Gloria (Chris) Stanz, Gilda Bonnevie, late Marcia (Stephen) Urbaniak; uncle and aunt, Robert (Elaine) Marinucci; nieces, nephews, great-nieces, great-nephews, cousins and many wonderful, longtime and new friends; as well as my best bud, Travis. Lastly, but most importantly, my wife, Patricia (Filicetti) Giambattista. A woman with a heart like gold and as big as this universe, a woman who thinks of everyone else before herself. A woman who became a caregiver to me after my diagnoses, who epitomizes the very word caregiver. If not for my wonderful Patricia, my worldly journey would not have lasted this long.
    Where I worked or what I did for a living is not important. What is important is who I was, how I walked through this worldly life. Believe me, I made many mistakes, but I tried to learn from them all, hopefully I did. I loved with all of my being, I adored loyalty and the truth. I loved without conditions, the only way to true love. I also learned that love will die without respect as it's companion. You need both for a loving relationship of any and all kinds. For me, this was my life's most important lesson, love plus respect, without conditions equals a beautiful lifetime with inner peace. I leave you with this, "My lung cancer was a true blessing for me. Without it, I would not have the relationship I have with my God, and I would have not found the peace, happiness and contentment that I have. These last 68 months since my diagnoses have been the best times of my life". I also want you all to know that we will see each other again, I look forward to it, in a much better place, where there is no sorrow, no pain, no hurt, only wholeness. Where all are so happy and healthy. Please follow and live in HIS word, accept Jesus, give your heart and soul to HIM. As I embrace my Lord I wait for you all patiently with a smile. Remember always, God's Got This. See you in the New Jerusalem.... 1 Corinthians 2:7-9.
    Family and friends are invited to a Celebration of Sam's life on Saturday, February 18th at 11 AM at Creekside Assembly of God Church, 2625 Tonawanda Creek Road, Amherst, NY, with Pastor Charles Pezzino officiating. Immediately following the celebration of Sam's life, please join with the family and friends for a luncheon in the Church Hall.
    In lieu of flowers, memorial offerings may be made to Roswell Park Alliance Foundation, specifically for lung cancer, PO Box 631, Buffalo, NY 14240, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, 501 St. Jude Place, Memphis, TN 38105, or to Shriners Hospitals for Children, International Headquarters, 2900 Rocky Point Drive, Tampa, FL 33607.

    Notes:

    Serofino “Sam” Giambattista passed quietly on Wednesday, September 5, 2018, following a long illness. He was born in Niagara Falls, New York on September 29, 1924, to the late Serofino and Vincenza (Torchetti) Giambattista. He spent his final days visiting with family and friends while resting comfortably at home. 

    He is survived by his wife of 68 years, Martha (Marinucci), a son Anthony (Kathleen), six grandchildren, three great-grandchildren, and several nieces, nephews and cousins. He was predeceased by his son, Serofino (Patricia), brothers Nick (Pearl), and William, sisters Antoinette (late Joe) Manuse and Cecelia (late Frank) Alati. 

    Sam, a lifelong resident of Niagara Falls, attended local schools and served in the U.S. Navy during World War II. He then became a journeyman carpenter and was an active member of Carpenter’s Local #280 for over 48 years. During retirement, he enjoyed visiting Las Vegas and Florida and spending time with family and friends. He was an avid sports fan who enjoyed sitting on his porch and observing the neighborhood. 

    Most importantly, Sam loved being with his family. He was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and friend who always put others’ needs before his own. It is well known that he could always be counted on for help to anyone who asked. Throughout his life, Sam would continually speak with love and affection for his father who passed away when he was very young. It was his fervent hope to someday reunite with his dad. That day has finally come.  Rest peacefully Papa…
