Gabe Dimino - 67- 68 - 2006
Hi, I'm using Cubby's email as I am his girlfriend of many yrs. His real name was Gabriel John Paul Dimino & I wanted to let you know that he passed away last yr after a long illness. I thought that if you mention any of your fellow vets who have passed on at your reunion, you could include him in that tribute.
I don't have a lot of details about his service, although he loved his time in the Navy & spoke often of it fondly. The only reason he didn't stay was due to a back injury suffered on board which caused him problems his whole life. Otherwise, I believe he would have probably been a career sailor. He went on to earn a Master's degree in Education at Temple University in Philadelphia. He then taught at both the high school & college level, as well as serving as a social worker for low income teens & adults trying to get training & employment. His last yrs were spent as a management trainer at Honeywell & even longer at Stone & Webster Engineering here in Boston.
I know that his time in the Navy was in the mid-1960s ... I think it was '64-'66. He served on both the Corporal & the Tench. His rank was Petty Officer 3rd Class. He loved the submarine service & was very interested in everything to do with subs from then on. He even took me to Mystic Seaport in CT just to see a WWII sub there. He was also a musician who sang & played bass & guitar, & was privileged to work back in Philly with artists like John Oates, Bill Haley & Patti LaBelle.
Gabe was extremely proud of his Dolphins & kept them on a hat that he wore often. He was a member (& sometimes officer) of both the VietNam Veterans club & the Italian-American Veterans club here in Eastie, & sometimes marched in parades & other holiday ceremonies with them. He was a wonderful man with a huge heart, especially for his fellow disabled vets & their families.
I thought you might like to know a little about him as perhaps someone at your reunion may remember him.
Thank you, Pamela Like East Boston, MA
