Nino was a fan of the Ravens NFL sports team. His many passions included working, cooking, and traveling to see his family. Nino had many talents beyond his vocational skillset. His ability to fill the room with love, laughter and comfort was cherished by all who met him. That is the spark of life that will be truly unforgettable.
