Loved Joan and Gino's friendhip, so uniquely genuine, and all about you never about them.
What fun we enjoyed through the years the Italian club, dinners at one another's homes, smelt fishing in the pitch dark on the lake in waders, a bonfire, kids running around, just adjacent to the Drake downtown ehatca contrast to our Smelting activities pulling in full nets and our famous deep fried smelt picnics at Sylvia's home, the kids donning beer and pop cans on their shoes and parading all over the place in crashing noise fashion! Our kids Andy and Sharon absolutely loved all the parties, and were always happy to be included.
I also loved our adult dinners and our various discussions, architecture projects, great political discussions, current events, food, family, l kids, various family trips to W, etc!

So much hearty laughter, always came away full of joy and thankful for the many good times and people we loved and enjoyed the delicious food, great discussions and feeling so much a part of the evening. And always came home laughing over stories shared with Joan, her family Gino, his parents and Sylvia and Ken's input and her contagious lauughtervand great hilarious stories about Chicago and Northwestern, where we all met shared daily hearty breakfasts together, sometimes 9 of us chatting and laughing hysterically for half an hour or more! Oh bosses seated nearby would encourage us to stay if there were no investigations on the roster that day! What fun!
Yes, great fun, I remember the 2 days or more that Gino's took his State test to certify his Architecture degree! And the day he received word he passed with flying colors.
He had to design a museum as part of the test! What a big day for Gino's and Joan!
Attended his 80th birthday party. Gemma's twins were just months old. Michael and Peter on grill duty and all the family together. Tons of delicious salads and pastas and cake of course! Always CAKE!

Thank you Joan and Gino Marsalli and kids for a beautifull and very blessed,40 plus, years of friendship! God bless The Marsallies/Morasch family! xoxo, Phyllis

In reading the newsletter of the Lucchesi Nel Mondo Association, I just learned of the passing of Gino. I, as well as my entire family wish to express our deepest sympathy to Joan and the rest of his family.

I was honored to serve on the Lucchesi Association Board of Directors when he was President and I was even more honored when Gino nominated me and I received an award from the Chamber of Commerce of Lucca in 1998.

Please accept our sincerest condolences.

Dear Joan & Family,
We are so surprised and sad to hear about the loss of Gino. He will be greatly remembered as our great neighbor, friend and like my Dad next door. He gave me so much knowledge and always had time for me. I will never forget the time when he made a fish tank stand for me, He told me the amount of wood, material and than we went to work and had no left over material. He was precise in what he did.I still have the fish stand which has been with me to college and now my married life. He is my pillar in life. There is no better man. He was the best. He had the best personhood a man could have. We will miss him. Love you neighbors. Please keep in touch.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

The Olson Family of Park Ridge

My deepest condolences to the entire family. I have known Gino since he was an architect for Del Bianco and worked with Dick Donatoni. Gino helped draw the plans for building several of our schools and I was personally, professionally and socially part of his life as Associate Superintendent at School District 15. Later as a Consultant at the school district Gino and I frequently met and talked. He was a great guy. Highly intelligent, competent and a true christian who loved people and his family. I will never forget Gino. He effected my life positively and made a significant difference in all the people who had the privilege and pleasure to know him. Joe Kiszka

Here's to Gino & Joan, salt of the earth goodness, always there for anyone in need, fun-loving, focused on others, not themselves. Gino, how we love you and honor you now, as always, for the kind, focused, giving person you have been and will always remain lovingly in our thoughts and prayers. What a blessing just to know you and Joan, yet to call you, my dear friends.

Joan, Gemma and Family, to the "master builder": My thoughts are with you all.
I cannot express enough what a dear and great mentor/Architect Gino has been for me. I will always, always remember him my entire life since he was a tremendous catalyst for my career. I remember his beautiful sketches and hand drawn drawings and his engineering skills. He was a great person, always giving of himself and sharing his knowledge with me.
He will be missed dearly.
