P. Gioioso & sons, inc.

It is with great sadness that we announce that our beloved member and friend Gino Gioioso passed away on May 7, 2021, at the age of 87.

Gino was the beloved husband of Grazia Gioioso, and the loving father of Gino and his wife Mary-Ellen of Walpole, Marco and his wife Christine of Walpole, and Lora Crouch and her husband George of Ashbury, Virginia. He was also the cherished Nonno of Lindsay, Ashley, Gracey, Gino, Jr., Marco, Jr., Daniel, and Ava Gioioso, and Alexa, Jacob, and Logan Crouch.

Gino was the brother of Giuseppe Gioioso of Braintree, Ferrante Gioioso of Braintree, Maria DiNanno of Norwood, Francesco (Frank) Gioioso of Walpole, Elena Adgate of Braintree, the late Enrico Gioioso, the late Tommaso Gioioso, the late Filomena Colasante, and the late Mario Gioioso.

Born and raised in the small village of Viano in Filetto, Italy, Gino developed his strong work ethic at a young age and served in the Alpini Italian Military. In 1960, he immigrated to the United States, making his home in Dorchester, MA and finding work as a contractor with local construction companies. In 1962, Gino and four of his brothers founded P. Gioioso & Sons, Inc., a General Construction Company based in Hyde Park, which today is one of the most respected utility construction companies in our state.

In 1968, Gino met and married the love of his life, Grazia. They made their home in Watertown where the couple welcomed and raised their three children. Gino loved to garden, make wine, hunt, travel, and socialize with friends. But, most of all, he loved spending time with his children and 10 grandchildren. They were his world and he was so proud of them. His legacy will be carried on by each and every one of them.

The Officers, Board of Directors, Members, and Staff of UCANE extend their deepest sympathies and condolences to the entire Gioioso Family. Gino’s years of experience and knowledge of our industry brought him the unequaled respect of his peers, who feel a deep personal sadness at his passing. n
