He married twice. With his second wife, Peggy, he lived in an 1820s Cambridge house and enjoyed frequent outings to the museums and theater of both Boston and New York City.  

They shared five children, three from his first marriage, and six grandchildren. Gino died May 18, 2025, survived by Peggy and their family.
