Gail Kavanaugh Conners
We are sadden to hear that the world has lost Gino Licosati. We are confident that his eternal spirit remains around and through his loving family and beautiful wife Margaret.
For years we kept in touch and just recently attempted to regain communication only to learn of Gino’s passing. My husband Chuck just celebrated his 80th birthday. Soon Gino’s classmate and father to the five Kavanaugh children will turn 80 in August. Chuck is producing a DVD of Phil’s life and wanted to include a photo of Gino & Margaret, for whom we all had great affection.
Our sincere and heartfelt sympathy. Gail and Chuck
