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

He was my doctor as a kid. I was asthmatic and sick a lot and I can still hear his booming voice saying “hello, hello, hello, Lou!” As I got older and outgrew asthma, I saw him less and less. I remember seeing him at the LA Fitness in Scottsdale in 2009 or maybe even 2010 as a man in my late 30s and he complimented me. I told him it was all because he was my doctor as a kid….I think that made him feel good. I sure hope so. I just thought of him today and that booming greeting of his. Funny how the time slips by and things that happened decades ago seem like last week. I miss him and am thankful that he was such a good doctor and that my parents cared enough to send me to him. Rest In Peace Doctor Licosati…I miss you.
