Born in Northbrook, IL and raised in Illinois Soldiers' and Sailors' Children School in Normal, IL. He served in the U.S. Navy during WWII for 4 years. Following retirement from the Laborer's Union in 1987, Gino and Clara retired in Arizona. Gino's greatest joy in life was spending time with his family. He was a die-hard Chicago Cubs fan, and at the end of every season he would say, "wait until next year". All who knew Gino said the same thing, he was one of the greatest men that walked the earth. Gino's legacy to his children included honesty, integrity, kindness, generosity and above all he taught his children the value of hard work. He was a wonderful role model as a Father and his children were extremely blessed to call him "OUR Father". In Lieu of flowers, memorials to Hospice of the Valley, 1510 E.
