Richard A. Giannone

Richard A. Giannone, 66, of Auburn passed away after a long illness, on July 20, 2021. Dick was born in Auburn on September 2, 1954 to the late Anthony and Julia Komarisky Giannone. He retired from Anheuser Busch after 30 years of employment. Before his illness took over, Dick was an avid hunter, fisherman and master of firework displays. He enjoyed golf and “the ponies.” Above all, his favorite pastime was anything related to his family. His boys and grandchildren were the light of his life. Dick was a kind and generous person, as anyone who knew him could attest to. 

Richard is survived by his wife, LuAnn Holmes Giannone; his children, Richard (Cara) Giannone, Michael (Jennifer) Giannone, Daniel (Jill) Giannone and Jared (Caitlyn) Giannone; his brother, Jerry (Pam) Giannone; his grandchildren, Justin, Isabella, Niko, Jaxson and Mikaela, along with several nieces and nephews.
