Gino Anthony Savio
02/07/1956 ~ 30/07/2020
It’s with the heaviest of hearts that we note the passing of our amazing dad and husband Gino Anthony Savio, who died at 64, on Thursday July 30th , 2020.
Cancer is a horrible beast. We watched as he slowly unravelled before our eyes, until the suffering was too great and he passed peacefully into the morning. Our (super) dry, annoyingly proud, brilliant and silent Dad will be gone, but we won’t forget the way he cared for us and carried us through the years. Dad, the tower of strength. The perfectionist who could fix anything. The only one who could answer the history questions in trivia. The one who could always make the perfect wry comment. The one who went out of his way to make sure everyone was ok. We will be lost without him.
He is survived by his wife Franca, his daughters Danielle and Rachel, his sons-in-law Kyle and Daniel, his grand-daughter Ella, his siblings Roy, John, Robert and Rosemary and his in-laws Benita, Giuliano and Sharon.
He joins his parents Mario and Clara, his father-in-law Antonio and his brother-in-law Pierangelo on the other side. Forever in our hearts and in our minds. We know Chicago is playing at full volume wherever you are.
We love you to the moon and back. Franca, Danielle and Rachel.

I will miss those chat sessions we would have where I saw another side off you, a side that would make me smile and laugh. And boy you made me laugh. Rest now in peace, away from pain and be reassured I will look after your beloved Franca.

To Gino, it’s hard to believe that I won’t turn a corner and see your cheeky grin of respect I worked so hard to gain from you. U said so much when you said so little. Always a man I looked up to and hold dear the time spent learning from you. You had a greater impact on my professional life then you know and personally called you a friend. Deepest condolences to the Savio family. RIP
Gino,
Thank you for your friendship, guidance, patience and opportunity you gave over the years. You were a great leader, teacher and role model to many but most of all a great friend.
You will be dearly missed but never forgotten.
Sincerest condolences to Franca , Danielle, Rachel and the extended family.
RIP.

Dear Franca,
So sorry to hear the news of Gino passing. Please accept my heartfelt condolences to you and your family.
My Gino, (The prince of Darkness)
The man I met as I was an apprentice, trying to learn everything that nobody would want to teach you.
When I earned this man’s respect he taught me everthing from reading drawings and mastering how to nicely insult the builders.
My gentle,kind,caring and always great Master of information, you will be missed in my heart but NEVER be forgotten.
To Franca, Rachel and Danielle, the love he had for his girls was unexplainable and always informed me of how proud he was of all your successes .
Our Deepest Condolences.
Love Nick,Rosa and Family.
Gino fond memories of our many chats about life! Gino we need to talk let’s have a smoke! Your wonderful support of my son Jesse through troubled times will never be forgotten! A gentleman of the old school. A kind caring decent man! Sincerest condolences Rip Gino Jon Wiltshire

Caro Gino, sarà difficile colmare il vuoto che hai lasciato…
Quando ti abbiamo conosciuto ci ha colpito la tua umanità e la tua simpatia.
Il tuo ricordo resterà per sempre nei nostri cuori.

Thanks for all the memories and taking me under your wing.
I will never forget you and all the kind things you have done.
One of many memories was when you got the falcon on the road and you said jump in we’re going for a ride. Showing me your old houses while we should have been onsite working
Rest In Peace my friend

To the one & only Prince of Darkness, from when we first met in 1987, to when I saw you last, just a couple of months ago, you made me work hard to get a cheeky grin out of you. But I soon discovered you were nothing but a marshmallow with a heart of pure gold, under that tough exterior
When I first started with Dolso as a green 16 year old you put me on sweeping duties for 2 months straight until you decided I was worthy of sharing your knowledge with. You taught me everything about being on the building site & I thank you for sharing that wisdom, because I wouldn’t be where I am today without it. It was an honour to do our last job together at Collins Arch last year.
It made me so incredibly sad to see what you & your girls had to endure during your illness. You will be missed by so many & forgotten by none.
Franca, Rachel & Danielle, we cannot imagine your grief at this tragic & senseless loss. You are in our thoughts & prayers.
With love Marco, Toni, Alexandra & Angelique Peroni💕💕
My dear old friend Gino, I was so deeply saddened to hear of your illness & subsequent passing. It feels like only yesterday that you were my apprentice, a life unfinished. To Franca, Rachel & Danielle our very deepest condolences. Rest in peace old friend. Dominic & Anna Peroni💗
I didn’t know Gino very well but really liked what I saw. I know he is in a beter place pain free which is all one could want for him. Love to dear Franca and his daughters who all loved him so much…I feel your loss in my heart.xx
Dearest Franca,
Sending you our deepest condolences on your loss. Our thoughts are with you and your family during this time.
We will never forget Gino’s friendly and entertaining chats at the Holden Design Christams Parties.
Frank & Louis
Caro Gino, eri una buona persona. Sempre conserveremo il tuo ricordo nel nostro cuore. Riposa in pace.
