And he always called my son chicken wing. HE WOULD SAY…… CHICKEN WING!!! Lol, Gino, you will be greatly missed. My prayers go’s out to the whiteside family . Sincerely, DEBORAH SMITH 🙏🏾
Gino was a good man. After my freshman year at UT, I spent the summer of 1990 as a temp worker in the Panasonic warehouse, and Gino and several others took me under their wing and were great to work with. Gino was a hard worker but also patient and easygoing with a kid like me who had a lot to learn about working in a warehouse.
