It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of John "Gino" Lebro.  Born on March 21, 1951, he bid us goodbye on July 8, 2020, leaving a deep void in the lives of many.

He was predeceased by his parents, Jean and Richard Lebro, and his grandparents, Gino and Philomena Brandolini.  

A man of distinct tastes, John enjoyed a home-cooked Italian meal, accompanied by a refreshing Moxie. He found solace in the tunes of Steely Dan and the Beetles, and much enjoyed The movies like the Godfather, Good Fellas, and Pistol Pete. He was a dedicated supporter of the New England Patriots, Boston Red Sox, and Boston Celtics.

John's favorite pastime included cooking, experimenting with new recipes, fantasy sports, playing pool, catch and basketball.  John spent many quality years coaching his sons baseball and took the role as coach for little league baseball.  He often spent his leisure time at Bill A's Cue Club and Fatso's Billiards and won his teams many championship trips to Las Vegas in the APA league.  A man of great love, John deeply treasured his mother, wife, and children, making them the focal point of his world.
