Born Dec. 23, 1934, Gino dedicated his long life to his family and will now be reunited with his love of 65 years Evelyn and his daughter Rosie. Survived by his best friend and son Tony, his caring daughter Sylvia and eldest son Frank, Gino entered the garden of Heaven peacefully surrounded by his family. His Grandchildren Rob (Kristin), Jazz (Ron) and Patrick as well as his great grand children and many loved ones, here and gone, know that our Gino is already tending the gardens above and planting as many Rose of Sharon as he can. Salut Papa.
