There was only one word to describe Gino Calendrelli - gentleman. This man was a true gentleman. He is a model for others. He took on a wonderful wife (Pia) and her three young children (Lil, Anna & Pete) and made them a close knit family. His dedication to this wife and family was out of true love. His loss should be mourned by all who knew him. I enjoyed talking with him for through our elders we learn - yet even if we don't speak we learn through example. Gino was a fine example for his children, his grandchildren and his friends.
I mourn with the family at his passing but know that he is now in a better place looking down on us all. I only wonder if Jesus let's him wear his hat......

Dear Pia, Lil, Barney, Peter, Maria and Anna and all the grandchilren: My heartfelt sympthy to all of you during this sorrowful time. There is no doubt in anyones mind how proud he was of his family, his wife and his grandchildren. Whenever he would walk proudly into a room with all of you the room lit up. He loved each and everyone of his children and grandchildren and more importantly, Pia, YOU! No one would take care of him like you did and throughout his illness he never forgot your name. Our family wishes you and your family our prayers now and always and wishes Gino a restful mind and may he always look down on his family, children and grandchildren always as proud as he did when he was alive.
