Welcome
In honor of our dearly beloved friend, Dr Sal Caputo, who passed away Sunday, August 6, 2017, I wrote this song and sang it at his funeral. I will have the recorded version up on my site as soon as is practical. Sal will always be in our minds and hearts.
The Gentle Giant
The Gentle Giant was a friend of mine
When he rode into town
All the people laughed and sang
When he was around
A selfless man he was for sure
Healing all who came
A loving father and husband too
He will always remain
He’s resting in a better place
With the good Lord by his side
We shed a tear and mourn for him
A never ending changing tide
The Gentle Giant was a friend of mine
When he rode into town
All the people laughed and sang
When he was around
-He’s around
-He’ll always be around…
