District Governor Dr. Jun Valera has announced that he is
NOT endorsing candidates for 2022-2023 District Governors.
 It is with great sadness that San Francisco Geneva-Excelsior Lions Club announces the passing of Lion Past President Al Gentile. Lion Al passed on the evening of March 8th. Lion Al’s love for his family, his friends and his contributions to the success of the Geneva-Excelsior Lions was shown by his 65 years of service; one of the District’s longest serving Lions. More can be read about Lion Al Gentile in Geneva-Excelsior’s Bulletin.
    Not a lot of details are known yet about services and internment at Golden Gate National Cemetery. Info will be passed along when available. Condolences can be sent to Roxanne Gentile, 200 Elm St., Apt. 206, San Mateo, CA 94401.
    Our thoughts are with Lion Al’s family, friends and fellow Lions.
