Tributes & Memories

  1. Cito Giulini

    November 5, 2025

    A hard goodbye to my father, Musiu, El Doctor, yoda, no words, just a lot of love into your voyage to the next dimension. If there is a door man into heaven, Im sure Peggy has arranged VIP status for your arrival. I will miss you down here on this miserable little rock flying around the nuclear reactor we call the sun that hopefully we won't blow up. Nothing but love and respect.

    I would like to pay tribute to Lorenzo, the father of one of my dearest childhood friends. I will always cherish the many conversations we shared and the wonderful moments we spent together in Los Guayabitos.

    So many memories! Where to start?
    Music... always music... whether the Charlotte Symphony, or Philharmonic concerts, visiting musicians, or listening to recordings in their living room.
    And all the meals we had together, talking over such an incredibly wide range of subjects.
    Thanks for teaching us to pronounce "Gouda" properly!!
    The memories will last forever!

    Lorenzo was a wonderful person with a very big heart. I remember so many Sunday mornings when Cito would take him to the bakery, he would come by with Cito to bring me my favorite bread. He was a kind, generous, and loving man who will truly be missed by everyone who was fortunate enough to get to know him.

    Rest well, Lorenzo. You have certainly earned it!!

    What a great tribute. He clearly was man of his generation, that lived a life worth remembering. So many men of this time forget how to be strong, stand up for what is right, and love with a passion like no other. I never met your Father, but from this reading I can honestly say wow what a MAN.

    What an unbelievable century long life story. Lorenzo was an awesome human being. He was a part of my earliest family memories. He was incredibly intelligent and interesting. I loved talking to him. Just talking about anything. He was interested in everything. He was also very funny with a great sense of humor. I'm going to miss him. The world needs more Lorenzos...

    That was one of the most beautiful tributes I have ever had the pleasure to read. What an extraordinary individual. No wonder you are so talented! Thank you and though I never had the pleasure of meeting your father, I feel from reading this that I would have enjoyed him. Sending much love and blessings to you, Cito. Until we meet again...-Jared

    I remember Lorenzo as being an especially intriguing man. I never knew as much about him as you have told us now. I have fond memories of both of your parents being so open and loving as we lived with them in our early 20s. I loved the really good coffee, toast with marmite and cheese from the wheel. I also remember Blue, the Rottweiler who I was scared of. Mostly though I remember a house full of love and interest and your Dad was so on board in every way. I cherish these memories. I appreciate the total acceptance and celebration that we all lived. It was never awkward for me and I felt completely at home with your parents. My heart is with yours now as you grieve.
  21. Rebecca Phillips

    Lorenzo was an amazing man. I often remember things he spoke about, like the time he met the legendary Jacques Cousteau aboard a yacht. I always laugh at his description. The world will miss him.

    A wonderful remembrance. He fits the definition of a "renaissance man" to a tee. We celebrate Lorenzo's life and pray for his soul. Peggy would approve of that. Until you are with him again, Cito.

    I have the fondest memories of Peggy and Lorenzo from Venezuela, Peggy was my mentor in the dog training world. My mom and I worked closely with Lorenzo on a guide for oil spill cleanup when he worked at Shell. I loved his calm demeanor and his attention to detail. I did not know anything about his young years, thanks for sharing. Both your parents were amazing humans! So sorry for your loss.

We become good feiends, our dogs stayed at their kennels, we would go out and eat arepas and empanadas and both of them were always there to guiding me with my dogs and with my life. Both lived long lives and they will always be remembered, hasta pronto nos veremos algún día besos Debbie

  48. Jennifer Keller

    November 7, 2025

    In the last few years of his life, Mr. Giulini would walk into my business as though he could see everything clearly in front of him. He couldn't, of course, but unless you knew him, you wouldn't know that. I would always try to get free so I could greet him. When he'd hear my voice, he would always ask, "Jennifer, is that you?" We would spend a few minutes visiting which always left me smiling. Grace comes to mind, kindness, a gentle spirit. He will be missed.
  49. Candice Faulkenberry

    Lorenzo accompanied me during essential parts of my life. I grew up in Brazil where he frequently visited. When I went to study in the US, I stopped over in Caracas to visit him and Peggy and young Cito.
    When I lived in New York, we frequently met and exchanged ideas. He was someone who always listened with interest and understanding and was able to share his wisdom very constructively. He had the capabilities to build bridges between cultures and generations!
    I am very grateful to have had an uncle like him!
  62. Teresa Smalls

    November 13, 2025

    I had the pleasure of meeting both Mr. Lorenzo and Mrs. Peggy through Granbar Kennels. I had taken my beloved Pepper there t6 be groomed for many years. After Pepper went to Doggy Heaven; I was blessed by Mrs Peggy with Prince from Tia's last litter. As I will continue to have Prince groomed at Granbar Kennels, I will always be grateful for the love I have through both of them for starting a business that has so much love and beauty given to others and their pets.

    Lorenzo

    Hola Cito,
    Siento mucho la partida de Lorenzo. Creo que tuvimos mucha, mucha suerte en haberlo conocido y compartido algunas de sus tantas facetas. Muy sabido, interesante, un hombre de buen humor con una carcajada que le salía del alma, afectuoso y bien dispuesto a todo o casi todo. Tú lo describiste muy bien y yo agregaría que vivió como pensaba: integro y claro en sus principios, ideas y actitudes.
    Una vida bien vivida a lo largo de mundos y tiempos diversos.
    Que lo mejor de Lorenzo y de Peggy siempre estén contigo en tu corazón.
    Esperamos poder asistir a lo que tengas planeado para honrarlo.
    Un fuerte abrazo,
    Hernán y Mercedes Atencio

    Lorenzo hired me in 1983 to take over his responsibilities in Maraven and PDVSA. I will always be grateful to him for doing so. And I will always remember him for his guidance in my professional and personal life. I lost track of him and Peggy when he retired to NC to raise rottweilers, but I'm so glad that they were able to spend many happy years together.
