Honouring the Legacy of
Gino Di Genova
Entrepreneur, Visionary, and Devoted Family Man
September 11, 1943 – March 29, 2025
elevated YaX6j With deep respect and admiration, we celebrate the extraordinary life of Gino Di Genova, a pioneering entrepreneur, visionary thinker, and devoted family man. Gino’s journey was shaped by his unwavering loyalty, sharp intellect, and dedication to both his work and loved ones—qualities that propelled his success in life and business.
elevated YaX6j Born in Celano, Italy, as the eldest child of Domenic and Elsa, Gino exemplified resilience and integrity, transforming challenges into opportunities. A true self-made leader, he not only forged his own path but also uplifted many family members, guiding them toward shared success. His sharp vision and talent for recognizing opportunities earned him the admiration of partners, peers, employees, and even competitors.
elevated YaX6j Beyond his professional successes, Gino remained steadfast to his principles, leading by example, with honesty and moral courage. His greatest legacy lies in the values he instilled in his family—perseverance, passion, and the belief that hard work makes anything possible. With witty charm, impeccable style, and his signature cool sunglasses, Gino carried himself with effortless elegance. Whether mentoring, sharing wisdom, or cherishing time with loved ones, his presence was always larger than life.
elevated YaX6j He leaves behind his beloved wife, Linda; his children, Lisa and her husband Steve, John-Paul and his wife Lorena, and Sarah and her husband Bill; his treasured grandchildren, Alexander, Alyssa, Sofia; as well as, Josh, Jake and Jessica; and his devoted brothers, Paul and his wife Lynn and Mario and his partner Nelia. He is also survived by a wide circle of family, friends, and colleagues, all of whom will forever be inspired by his unwavering remarkable achievements.
elevated YaX6j If desired, in lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations to the UHN Foundation or the Princess Margaret Hospital in gratitude for the exceptional care Gino received.
elevated YaX6j Gino was far more than a businessman—he spent a lifetime building an enduring legacy. His steadfast devotion to his family and the respect he earned from both loved ones and colleagues will forever define him. Revered by all who knew him, his quiet strength and profound influence will continue to guide and inspire future generations. May he rest in eternal peace.

To Linda and the
Di Genova family,
We are sorry for your loss and we are sending heartfelt condolences your way during this difficult time. Our prayers and thoughts are with you.
Wishing the entire DiGenova family our sincerest sympathy for your loss.
Dear Linda and family
My deepest condolences to you all.
May Gino rest peacefully
Cara Linda e famiglia, appresa la notizia della morte del carissimo Gino, con immediatezza, insieme al dolore per la sua scomparsa, sono riemerse nella nostra mente e nei nostri ricordi, le sue squisite qualitĂ di animo e di cuore. Un uomo distinto, disponibile al bene di tutti ma in modo tutto particolare verso noi celanesi, suoi conterranei. Pur vivendo lontano e preso da tanti impegni, il carissimo Gino, non ha mai dimenticato la sua Celano, le sue origini, i suoi parenti, i suoi concittadini verso i quali ha dimostrato grande disponibilitĂ in ogni occasione. Un uomo distinto, di animo buono e generoso, sempre pronto ad accogliere chiunque si fosse rivolto a lui, soprattutto se “lontano dalla patria”, lontano da Celano la sua amata cittĂ che egli aveva sempre nel cuore. Il Signore ha concesso a Gino di lasciare in questa vita il capolavoro del bene e della bontĂ . Profondamente addolorati, vi siamo molto vicini in questo triste momento.
Con affetto, Sandro Ricci e famiglia.
I have the honour of meeting Gino way too late in life and for too much of a short time. We could have become great friends as we shared many similarities on our journey from Italy and our life in Canada. To his wife Linda and their dear ones, my deep condolences.
A few months ago, my wife and I had the pleasure and honor of meeting Mr. Gino Di Genova and the rest of his wonderful family. Our acquaintance was not happenstance, but as a result of our son having the fortune of falling in love with and marrying his niece Jessica, Mario’s daughter.
From the moment I met Gino, I, also being Italian and coincidentally also a Di Genova from the same region in Italy, felt as having known Gino for a lifetime. Although our coming together at the family Christmas party was brief before departing back home to California, I was amazed with the warmth and humbleness in which Gino welcomed us into the family. I thought to myself, this is not an ordinary man, he is an accomplished man who truly personified all the characteristics and qualities so well recounted in his obituary.
Gino, I wish we had more time together, but I know that you are up in heaven now working on projects and making sure you keep an eye on Linda, Lisa, John-Paul, Sarah and the rest of your wonderful family. May you rest in eternal peace, Sir! You will be missed!
Linda, my deepest condolences.
May Gino rest in eternal peace.
From the day we met some fourty years ago we became instant friends . We shared many a cocktail, meals, parties by the pool and trips with our families creating some wonderful memories that I will carry with me. My girls Amanda and Stephanie looked up to you and called you Uncle Gino to this day.
So here’s to you Uncle Gino “YOU WILL BE MISSED!” WE LOVE YOU ❤️
God Bless you Gino’s.
Thank you for being an amazing grandfather to Alyssa and Alexander.
You always wanted the best for your family.
Gino I love you for giving your family and grand children the best in life.
Please pray for Alyssa and Alexander always who will deeply miss you.
Gino your a class Act.
Please give my father Anthony Nuosci a big hug for me.
I love you Gino’s
God bless you always and forever.

Dearest Linda – our hearts go out to you and the entire family.
We are so proud to call you all friends and consider everyone family and share your pain & loss. May our dearest friend Gino rest in peace. He was one of a kind, thoughtful, kind and generous. We have so many, many memories of the fun times, parties and trips that we have shared together over the past 40++ years. He loved it when he had a good joke to tell & we will never forget his “ET” impersonation! Doug is really going to miss his beloved friend and their nightly conversations. We miss him so much already. Hopefully they have a wide variety of sunglasses and fancy cars up there! We will always have him in our hearts. Love Doug & Sandy
Dearest Linda,
I am so incredibly saddened for your loss.
Gino was a wonderful, kind and generous man.
He was Papa Gigi to us and like a brother to me.
The memories we shared will forever be in my heart.
Gino, please give your buddy a big hug for me.
My deepest condolences Linda. My heart goes out to you and your family.
Dear Linda, Lisa and John-Paul,
I was deeply saddened to hear about the passing of Gino. He was not only a remarkable leader but also a supportive and inspiring presence in our workplace. His support and encouragement made a significant impact on my professional growth, and I will always be grateful for the opportunities he provided.
Please accept my heartfelt condolences during this difficult time. My thoughts are with you and your family.
Sincerely,

JP. I never met your father but i have family that have known him a very long time and fellow ‘Celano’ community members. The words in the obituary brought tears to my eyes and reminded me of a generation that we likely will never see much of today. We DO have hope in the G2’s and G3’s and you have certain shown it. while I didn’t know your father personally, i have had the pleasure of working with you in business and you are professional, thoughtful , detailed, thorough and such an incredibly great work ethic – clearly something that came from your father. You are no doubt proud and i’m sure he’ll be smiling from above watching how you walk in his footsteps and live in his best example. It sounds like he has an amazing family. Speak his name often. Share his stories. Share his character and personality because the world sure needs more of it. My heart goes out to all of you. Losing a parent – the very foundation of who we are is definitely a void that is painful but… it is now one that is forever reserved with lots of love and memories for you to draw on whenever you need it. I will think of all your family and say a special prayer for you. God Bless his remarkable life. your Friend – Cathy Ciccolini
Dear Linda and Gino’s beloved family, may God bless you during this time of great loss. Eternal rest grant unto Gino, O Lord. Let perpetual light shine him. May he rest in peace. Amen. Love, Elsa, Nick and Lisa
Linda, my condolences to you and your family. May Gino rest in peace. 🙏
Our deepest condolences to you, Linda, and all your family from your old friend, Olga
Dear Linda and the Di Genova family Angie and I send our deepest heartfelt condolences. Gino was one of a kind with his fashioned sunglasses and his bomber jacket. His smile, warmth and light conversation will be missed by all especially all the friends at NOVE .
I will miss seeing Gino one last time at the viewing since I’ll be out of town but my prayers are with Gino.
God bless Gino and the entire Di Genova family.
Dear Linda & Family,
We are heartbroken to learn of Gino’s passing. The link between our families will never be forgotten… so much history, so many great stories. We know Gino will live in your hearts forever. Please accept our sincerest condolences.

Di Genova Family I am deeply saddened to hear about your loss.Please accept my heartfelt condolences during this difficult time.My thoughts are with you and your family as you navigate through this difficult period of grief and remembrance GOD BLESS
Dear Linda, children and grandchildren. My sincere symathy for your great loss. Gino and I were friends for many years from grade 2 at Saint Peters Catholic School through high school and remained the best of friends for many years. We all shall miss Gino and meet in HEAVEN. GOD will welcome him I’M sure.
Lynda, our hearts go out to you and the entire family. Ida and I still find it hard to believe that we were just all together enjoying our time in Pompano a few weeks ago and will truly miss that opportunity going forward.
A lot has been been shared in the previous comments, but “G” was truly one of kind and I enjoyed his banter for over the fifty years plus of knowing him. It surely would not surprise me if indeed he is making deals and analysing things in Heaven.
Dear Linda, our heartfelt condolences to you and all the DiGenova family. No words can describe how sorry we are for your loss. Please accept our deepest sympathy. Sending you prayers and love to you all. Bruna and Tony
Gino is on the last leg of his amazing journey. Just an ordinary guy who became an extraordinary man. Beside him every step of the way was his wife Linda an extraordinary woman strong, kind, caring and loving.
My heartfelt sympathy to you Linda and your family. Inez Strome
Dear Linda,
We are so sorry for your loss. As Gino was one of dad’s closest and cherished friends, we have lovely memories of many enjoyable evenings with you both. Gino was an excellent conversationalist, very wise, always willing to share his lessons learned in life and business and very kind to us.
It was a joy to witness the laughter, respect and genuine affection between Gino and dad, a friendship that lasted decades. We should all be so fortunate to have such a loyal and caring friend as Gino in our lives. We are very thankful to have known him and we will remember him with great affection.
My heart felt condolences to Linda and family. I have known Gino and Linda and family for 15 years. Gino and Linda are like my 2nd parents. I will always remember the jokes Gino would say to Linda playfully in the mornings at tea time when I’m there. Thank you Gino for the Fatherly care you have shown me over the years. You will be deeply missed. I know by God grace we will see each other again. Betty, Xavier & Family.
It has been an honor to partner with Gino over the years. I have no doubt he will be deeply missed. My heartfelt condolences.
To the Di Genova family,
Condolences to the entire family on the passing of Gino.
May his memory be an inspiration to the entire family.
He was a true gentleman and will be missed.

Dear Linda and Family I am saddened to hear of the passing of my favourite neighbour Gino. There was never a dull moment. I miss all of you.
Gino lived a beautiful life full rich life not to mention he had nine lives. There will never be another Gino .
He is now sleeping with the Angels
From all of us at Fernbrook who will miss Gino’s impromptu visits to the office each day. Gino would always brighten up the room with his presence. We loved to watch him stroll in with his shades and leather jackets. Always good for a few laughs, his charm and wit will surely be missed. May these and all the memories made together with family and friends bring comfort to everyone in who’s hearts and minds Gino will live on.
xo Our sincerest condolences to Linda and Family

Dearest Linda and family,
I was so deeply sorry to hear of Gino’s declining health and passing. While 82 years is a life full of love, wisdom and meaningful moments, it’s never easy to say goodbye to someone you love.
Please know my heart is with all of you during this difficult time. He was a remarkable man and his legacy lives on in the stories you’ll share, the values he passed down, and the love that continues to surround your family.
May you find comfort in the memories of a life well-lived and in each other as you walk through this time of grief together.
You are all in my thoughts, and I’m holding you all close to my heart.
With my deepest sympathy,
Jennifer Giancola
We have been so blessed to have known Gino and to have had the opportunity of spending some memorable occasions with him… (most notably the wedding of Lisa and my son Steven, family celebrations, birthdays etc ).
Gino was an exceptional individual who did so much to better the lives of so many. He lived a life he wanted to live – a life that radiated joy, happiness, optimism, contentment and gratitude. Gino had a quick wit and loved to joke and bring laughter to a moment. He possessed a gentle determination, and in spite of his incredible business achievements, Gino remained modest and humble.
To his family he was a GEM
To his friends he was one-of-a kind
To everyone he was a true LEGEND.
Gino will be greatly missed but never forgotten.
May he Rest in Peace. AMEN
Dear Linda and family,
My deepest condolences.
I feel blessed to have known Gino and think back of the great memories many years ago we were able to share together.
Gino’s sense of humour will always stay in my heart ❤️
God bless you and your beautiful family.
Linda,
We were shocked and saddened to discover the news of Gino’s passing. Sending you, your kids, and the whole Di Genova family, our deepest sympathies.
Your old neighbours, The De Rosa family.
