Gino Secco
1915-2010
Gino Secco, age 94, died peacefully in his sleep on the morning of January 12, 2010.
He was born in Seren del Grappa, located in the Italian Province of Belluna in 1915 to Vincenzo and Caterina Grisotto Secco. In 1952, he married Bruna Altimani in Nervi, Italy. They immigrated to the United States that same year.
Gino will be remembered for his loyalty, compassion, gregariousness and creativity. He was a proud member of “I quarto gatti,” an Italian club that met every week. His greatest dream was for his Italian heritage to live on.

In Loving Memory
Dear Bruna, I was so sorry to hear about Gino. He was such a dear man and I was so proud to have him and you as my first Tai Chi students. It was such a pleasure to get to know you and I often tell my students about you. You were both so young at heart and your chi and balance were and are beautiful. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Much Love, Vicki
