Dino was a fun-loving, funny, and very likable guy who was easy-going and involved in activities with his friends at the Men's Club, Italian Club Cultasada, and Church. He enjoyed golfing with his many friends, playing cards, the Buffalo Bills, trips to the casino, and gardening. He loved to be outside and took great pride in his flowers and yard work. His favorite music to listen to was anything from, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, or Yanni.
In his 20's he met Ruth Ann, after getting married they spent 37 years together before she passed away in 2001. They enjoyed many trips and cruises with their children, Lisa & Dino. Family was the most important joy of his life.
Later in Dino's life, he met Gloria Jean Zaremba. They were together for 17 years and married for 4 years before her passing in 2021.
Dino had some funny sayings you could hear often like "two weeks and eleven days", or "I'm just resting my eyes". He was so caring, reliable, loyal, and kind. His legacy will live on in his children, Lisa & Dino, and his grandchildren. He will be deeply missed by his family and many friends.
Tributes
"It is with sadness I hear of the passing of Dino. I had the distinct pleasure of working with Dino during my co-op program at RIT at Gleason works in 1965. I helped Dino in the metallurgy department at Gleason. Even though I never saw Dino after that, I always remembered him. To me, Dino was one of the rare individuals that I was fortunate to meet in my life. He was very proud of being Italian American. He spoke so well of his family, and his community. It has been a long time, but my memory of Dino is very vivid. May he rest in peace. Ciao Dino. Your friend, Joe Larizza "
"Dino was a great co-worker and always willing to help. I have good memories of Dino. The picture with the clock was about 1989 when Dino celebrated his 25 year anniversary with Gleason and the second picture was when he celebrated his 40 year anniversary. My condolences to those he left and may he rest in peace."
