Gino was  born in San Vittorino, Italy and immigrated to the United States and settled in Crest Hill, IL with his wife Rita of 52 years. He retired from the Laborer Union Local #75 after 26 years of service. He was a devout catholic and parishioner of St. Anne Catholic Church in Crest Hill. Gino will be remembered for his hard work ethic, his Italian family traditions and love for the outdoors. He enjoyed gardening, working with his hands and tinkering in the garage. His family was most important to him, family gatherings gave him joy and his grandchildren were the light of his life. He will be truly missed.
