5 Mar 2020Gino always went out of his way to make me and my children smile. I loved his hugs and his stories. I mostly appreciated the love I always saw him show for his bride Rosemary, his children, and grandchildren. He was quick to laugh and never missed an opportunity to share some wisdom. I am so very sad he is gone. My prayers and love go out to his family and friends.
God bless

6 Mar 2020Birthdays come and birthdays go but theres one thing that will never go….Gino’s life and legacy will always live on for as long as time continues to move. It was an honor and a pleasure to have the opportunity to meet, laugh and love such a wonderful grandfather like Gino/Papa. I personally have the honor to have met and marry Julie Ko the granddaughter of Gino, his energy will always live on within our life. Don’t have too much fun up there Gino……..
