No one would argue that he was the personification of the American Dream. He would tell stories of his two week travel over seas to the United States happily greeted by the Statue of Liberty and her promise for his future. He taught that hard work and an honest days living to provide for his family had no limit. Gino's strong devotion to God and his religion carried him in all he did. His passion for winemaking, selling fruit and produce, making famous fruit baskets, casino trips, golfing and espresso drinking with friends at Ginos will always be remembered. His name though small symbolizes a man of great kindness, faith, family and friendship.
