Dear Gerbino Family,
I am so sorry to hear of Mr. Gerbino's passing. He was an outstanding teacher: he encouraged all of his students, and always taught with a smile. It was clear that he truly enjoyed teaching and he became one of my favorite teachers.

So sorry for your loss. Many memories of spanish classes at NHS and driver's ED. Mr. G. Knew i could drive but only needed to put in my hours so we would drive for donuts and coffee!! May your friends, family and faith surround you at this time.

To the Gerbino family,
My condolences and prayers for your loss. Mr. Gerbino was my high school Spanish teacher as well as my Driver's Ed instructor. He was one of my favorite teachers on The Hill. When I was in his Spanish class, he found out that I was dating another student in the same class and he took great, clever delight in teasing the two of us especially when we played a Spanish counting game "Caracoles". Fond memories. He will be missed.
