Born in the Chambersburg section of Trenton, he was a resident of Pennington for the past 64 years. He graduated from the Trenton High School class of 1943 and went on to serve in the United States Army Air Corps until 1946. He was a graduate of Seton Hall University and a graduate of the University of Miami School of Law class of 1952.

Gino worked for the State of New Jersey Department of Health as a legislative liaison until his retirement. Most notably, Gino was the founder, along with his wife Rose, of Camelot School in Pennington which is celebrating its 50th year. He was a past president and member of the Ewing Kiwanis Club since 1963. He was very involved in the community and gave much of his time as a board member for the Pelletieri Home for the Aged, the Hopewell Valley YMCA, and the Fermi Federation. In his retirement Gino was able to enjoy being a part-time resident of Sanibel Island, Florida for over 30 years where his favorite activities included boating and fishing.
