Family Asks Community For Help To Bury Their Father, George Guldi's Brother

SOUTHAMPTON, NY — A Southampton family needs help during their darkest hour.

A GoFundMe page, "Help Bury Our Father," has been created by Greg Guldi Jr. and has raised $800 of its $16,000 goal so far. To donate, click here.

"We are struggling to get money together to bury our father," he wrote. "He had no life insurance and no money saved up that we can access. We are asking anyone that he might have helped or can donate anything, no matter how much, to help Greg have a decent funeral."

Guldi said he knows his father helped many during his lifetime.

"I would gladly pay back anyone that can help us as well. It will take time. But I am sure between my siblings . . . we can make this happen," he said.

Guldi was the brother of former Suffolk County Legislator George Guldi, who is currently serving time in jail after being found guilty in 2011 of insurance fraud and second degree grand larceny.

His father, Greg Guldi Jr. said, spent a lifetime helping others and now, his family needs help and are faced with a home in foreclosure after being left with a great deal of debt. "He helped tons of people in the town, lent out tons of money and never got paid back," he said. "He needed his brother's help — but he was in jail."
