Mary and Family,
I am so sorry for your loss. My parents loved to talk about the times that they spent with you and Gino, lots of laughter and fun. I will pass the sad news on to my mother. She can be reached at her old phone number, if you wish to call her.

No one gave a haircut like Gino! Gino was always a positive presence in our family's lives. His smile and laughter will forever live in our hearts.

It was sad to be a part of the celebration of his life.

My family and I have fond memories of Gino, especially when we visited him and Mary out in the gold country. The life he lived was admirable and he will never be forgotten for the things he taught us. May he rest in peace and live a full life in heaven. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Tribuzi family as they mourn the loss of such an incredible man.
