I've had the pleasure learning of Gino by finding a copy of his obituary in the steal of a deal dehydrator my friend bought at a yard sale. I've been asking the universe for this kind of appliance for years now, my friend knowing the deep interest couldn't pass up the offer. Although it was covered a very brown splashy liquid I was able to sup it up to fine working order. You can see my more recent tasty achievement; dehydrating the oranges from the 100+ year old santa barbara tree in attached photo. He has brought me culinary inspiration, an invigoration of my talent for tailoring, turns out we have similar interests- Tailoring, hunting, and the love of bald eagles (my home state is WA) also having been born a day after him in the month of May makes me think we might be kindred spirits. My heart goes out to all those who knew and lost him- also who is Nikki?

Gino was a feature of my life the summer of 1965. My father, Bruce FitzGerald, had designed a rustic ranch style home for property he and my mother had purchased at 808 Romero Canyon Road. Dad hired Gino to build a massive stone fireplace for the house from sandstone rocks found on the property. My sister and I were brought to the lot to amuse ourselves and perhaps scavenge for suitable rocks while work proceeded on the house. Although I was only ten, I clearly remember how fun it was to hang around with the adults at lunch time when Gino was there because he was such a kick. Always a smile on his face and a sparkle in his eye is how I remember him. My condolences to his family as I am sure he is deeply missed.

Sorry to hear of your Dad's passing. Our paths crossed many years ago when he was dating your Mom. He bought my Dad's house for his family. My Dad said he was always a hard worker.
