I have a lot of good memories playing city league flag football and softball with Gino. He was also one of my training officers when I joined the CSPD. He was also the best training officer I had. I truly enjoyed the time I spent with Gino. Rest in peace my friend, you were a caring and good man.
God bless your family, Tony Geonetta

Regino and I went to elementary school together and were great friends sharing sleep overs at both his parents house and my parents. I think of him quite a lot and he will be missed (by the way back then he didn't like to be called Danny)

God Bless and comfort the Trujillo Family during this very hard time. Gino was such a pleasure to work with in the Pawn Unit and to know personally. He was thoughtful, caring, funny and just a really great person. He will be missed by all.

Ray always took interest in what was going on with you and listened to what you had to say , always kind and had some stories . I wish I would have spent more time with him and my Colorado family, we loose track of time and the years slip away as did one hell of a great man. You will be missed, Rest In Peace.
