Teresa Giudice paid tribute Sunday to her late father Giacinto Gorga, who died Friday at the age of 76.
Taking to Instagram, the “Real Housewives of New Jersey” star, 47, shared a handful of family photos while recalling sweet memories.
“Always my rock ❤️ one of my favorite memories is my #17birthday,” Giudice began. “I was upset because I thought I wasn’t getting a car so I refused to get dressed that day and then my parents surprised me with a new car!”

She continued, “They told me to go answer the door and there my new car was. 😍 Both my parents were so thoughtful and always wanted the best for Joey and I.”
Giudice and brother Joe Gorga also lost mother Antonia in March 2017 at the age of 66. On Saturday, Giudice posted about her parents being reunited.
“Yesterday with the rain the skies cried 😢with me for you leaving…today you made the sun shine ☀️to let me know you arrived & found mommy,” Giudice wrote. “I know how you loved your Blue so today I raise a glass to you! 🥃🥃 Salute to you PaPa ❤️🙏🏼.”
Following news of Gorga’s passing, Giudice’s Bravo family offered their condolences.
“Praying for you and your family may God comfort and keep you,” former “Real Housewives of Atlanta” star Phaedra Parks shared.
“Sending love and prayers,” Luann de Lesseps of the “Real Housewives of New York City” wrote.
Though the cause of Gorga’s death is unknown, a rep for Giudice told Page Six on Friday that “he had been sick for a while. It’s so sad.”
