D’Aloisio, Sr. Gi DAl i i S P assed away peacefully on Wednesday April 30th at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston following a brief illness, he recently celebrated his 95th birthday. Gino was born on April 7, 1930, in Everett to his late parents, Silvio and Elisa (Popoli) D’Aloisio. He was one of two children, raised in Everett, then the family moved to Revere. Gino was educated in Revere Public Schools and Gino was an Alumnus of Revere High School Class of 1948 where he played football. He later enlisted in the United States Army during the Korean War and was honorably discharged after his service to his country.

The person might claim that their company is working on a neighbor’s home and is off ering inspections to those living nearby, or they just happened to notice your damaged roof. But if you ask questions about where the business is locatof the many homes he built all over the North Shore. He also was married and began his family, which consisted of four children while simultaneously running a business. During this time in Gino’s life, he had a thirst for education, and he returned to the classroom. He was accepted into Harvard University and in 1978 he proudly earned his bachelor’s degree graduating Summa Cum Laude. This was something that Gino was very proud of and was very humble about as well. In his later years, he continued his love of challenging his mind through his frequent crossword puzzle sessions with his son Daniel. He never publicly revealed any of his many acts of kindness and generosity, which only now have come to light. He cared for the downtrodden, needy and those who suff ered loss. Having grown up during the Depression on Asti Avenue in Revere, he always was concerned that those in need “had food on the table.” Throughout his life he set an example for his children of what it meant to be a sacrifi cial worker, to supply all his family’s needs, and a generous and forgiving person. One of his grandsons said, “What a great man and life, 95 years well lived. I learned so much from my grandfather. Most of all, that anything worthwhile in this life you will have to work hard for; nothing good comes without hard work. Also, that the Lord and family is everything.” ed or how their services work — if you’re not dealing with an honest company — you’ll most likely be met with vague answers. If you are speaking on the phone to a con artist, they might hang up if pressed for more details.

If they don’t fi nd enough wear and tear to merit a whole new roof, they might fabricate it, by tearing off shingles to mimic wind damage (so pay attention and watch what they do). Or they might show you pictures of someone else’s damaged roof. Don’t hire a company that does this! He was the husband of the late Kathleen (Deary) D’Aloisio.
