Gregory George Zino

Gregory George Zino passed away on Friday, January 31, 2025, leaving behind a

legacy of love, loyalty, and devotion to family. Born on July 4, 1956, Greg – as he was

known to all – was a true Chicagoan at heart, with a deep devotion to his hometown and

its beloved sports teams, the Chicago Bears, the Chicago Cubs, and Notre Dame.

Throughout his life, Greg found joy in the simple things: a round of golf on a sunny day,

a family gathering, throwing a ball for his dog, Norton, updating his home, spending time

with friends, or a spirited discussion about sports. His love for golf was more than just a

hobby - it was a way to connect with nature, challenge himself, and spend time with

friends and family. He served his community in the HVAC industry, bringing dedication

and integrity to his labors.

Above all, Greg's greatest joy was his family. He cherished every moment spent with his

loved ones and they will deeply miss his presence in their lives. He is survived by his

wife, Lea Ann McCormick Zino, who was his rock and partner in every sense; his

brother, David George Zino; his sister, Amy Lynn Zino Reavis (Marshall); and his

daughter, Ashley Ellis (Kevin), through whom he was a proud grandfather of two

beautiful girls, Ariel and Payton.

Greg is also survived by his brother-in-law, Ken McCormick; his sister-in-law, Beth

McCormick Huber (Art); his nieces and nephews, George JZ Reavis, Juliann Huber,

Zhenya Huber, Emily Reavis Boehme (Charlie), Jill Reavis, and Mitch Reavis (Caroline);

as well as many other relatives and friends who will miss him dearly.

He was preceded in death by his parents, George and Bernice Zino, who instilled in him

the values of hard work, loyalty, and love that guided him throughout his life.

As we say goodbye to Greg, we remember his infectious smile, his quick wit, and his

signature common sense. He may be gone, but his memory will live on in our hearts,

and his spirit will continue to inspire us to live life to the fullest. May Greg rest in peace.
