Antonino “Nino” Gagliano passed away suddenly on August 25, 2025, at the age of 83, after a long illness. A resident of Fairport, New York for the past four years, he previously lived in Florida for 32 years and was born and raised in Rochester, New York.
He is survived by his loving and devoted wife of nearly 40 years, Jeanne; his daughters Michelle (Keith) Kalke and Jeannine Gagliano; his son, Nino Gagliano; and his stepdaughters Catherine (Victor) Cusato and Melissa (Daryle) Ciejka. He is also survived by several grandchildren and a great-granddaughter.
Nino was the former owner of Rochester Equipment on Jefferson Road and later worked in Florida as a consultant for the Seminole Tribe and several churches. He was an active member of the Rochester Corvette Club and the Rotary Club, communities where he built many lasting friendships.
He found joy in traveling, cooking, watching boat and car races, and in recent years he most cherished the simple pleasure of spending time with his family. Nino will be deeply missed by his wife and family.
The family wishes to thank the Penfield Fire Department for their kindness and professionalism during such a difficult time.
Services will be held privately at the convenience of the family.
