I got the pleasure of meeting & caring for Gino at dialysis. His pressence was known once he entered the building, he spoke itailian to us, his jokes were always a highlight of our day! He will truly be missed. I am so sorry for your loss. He was such a wonderful man & I am thankful for the time I did share with him. Have a joyous reunion with your wife. Rest in Peace Gino! xoxo

So sorry for your loss of your father, Michelle, and family. John told me many of times what a good man he was. I never had the pleasure of meeting him, but know he was loved by many. My deepest sympathy to you and your family. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Gino used to take me down to Mountaineer Park to gamble with him. He was a lot of fun! He would give me $50 and when I doubled it, I waited for him to get done gambling and come back to Akron. I hope you have lots of happy memories to keep you company.
