  10. Gino,Mark and Darla, I was really sad to have heard of the passing of your father, I met him when I was 17 years old, and reconnected when I went to the gym about 15 years ago. He was a compassionate man, Kind , caring and the love he gave to his mother , was unbelievable. He loved his family very much and was proud of them.He brightened the day, when he would stop in at the office for a small chat. I extend my deepest sympathy to all of you and may God give you the peace and strength for each day. He would always mention how good his kids were to him. God Bless Joann Shorac

  12. Gino, I just saw that your father passed. I still remember holding the heavy bag for your dad and how his kicks were so powerful they picked a fat 6th grader off the floor. He had such a soft spoken but strong voice. You have my condolences. John Kuntupis
