Predeceased by his mother Maria, Gino is survived by his beloved wife Sandra Copp; two sons Gino Jr. and Gerrit; father Pietro (Enis); one brother Anthony (wife Greta) and niece Lilli as well as a number of dear and special friends.
Gino loved life and when he was not out on the open road or on the water, then he was at home with his family, enjoying his deck or giving the neighbours a hard time.
