Gino was born November 4, 1934, in Cleveland, Ohio. He attended East High School and soon after joined the U.S. Army. His service continued until he was honorably discharged in 1963. He and his wife Connie raised their family in Lyndhurst, living there for 52 years. They were members of St. Clare Church where Gino was well known for coaching many baseball teams. His baseball coaching career actually began in the Army and continued for 35 years in the Lyndhurst Dad’s Club and Mayfield Heights baseball programs. For most of his working life, Gino was a self-employed Painter. He also owned and operated two grocery stores in East Cleveland and spent a few years as an Inspector for ODOT. Gino loved sports, especially coaching his four sons, and found great joy in attending his grandchildren’s many activities. He enjoyed traveling to Las Vegas, the music of the Rat Pack and dancing the jitterbug with his wife Connie. He will be remembered as being a kind and gentle soul who was devoted to the Lord, his family and baseball. Gino will be deeply missed and forever remembered by all those that loved and adored him.
