He was predeceased by his wife Margaret. He will be remembered and sadly missed by his daughters, Grace (Nick), Gena (Aubrey) and Lou-Anne (Henry) grandchildren, Gina, Marina, Joshua, Gino and Hillary; sisters, Joanne (Frank), and Phyllis; brothers, Pat (Marlene), Mike (Sabia), Dino (Luciana) and Mickey (Joanne) as well as many nieces, nephews and friends. Gino was born on January 1, 1944 in San Giovanni Rotondo Foggia, Italy. He was a plasterer for over 30 years and was most recently employed by the Winnipeg School Division No.1. Gino was a happy-go-lucky person. He was tough on the outside and a teddy bear at heart. He was a great father and grandfather who always put his familys needs before his own. His pride and joy besides his daughters and grandchildren was his dusty rose Thunderbird. He had so many friends that loved him. Everyone who knew Gino, knew what a great guy he was.
