Gabriel F. Cintorino

Gabriel F. Cintorino, 92 years young, of Orlando Florida, went home to be with the Lord on Tuesday December 24, 2019. He died peacefully in the presence of his loving wife Eva and Son Michael, as they held his hand and sat by his bedside to say their final goodbyes.

Born on March 14, 1927 in Brooklyn, New York to loving parents, he was one of 6 children. He had joined the Navy at a ripe young age to serve his country in WWII. Gabriel proudly served alongside his other enlisted brothers as A Navy Frog Man with 36 major battles under his belt, an elite group that they now call Navy Seals.

Fred was an incredibly talented man who enjoyed playing musical instruments such as the guitar, piano and bongos. An accomplished and talented artist who captured the attention of so many with his love for painting landscapes and portraits. He was a highly skilled mixed martial artist, who loved to share his abilities with his son Michael who considered him his real life Super Hero.

Gabriel was a great entrepreneur and innovator, creating many successful companies in his life, which gave birth to some wonderful ideas to which are still being used this very day. Although a native New Yorker, Gabriel loved being a resident of Florida, calling Orlando home for half of his life.

With all he has achieved and created in his blessed 92 years of life, Gabriel would never hesitate by saying his greatest accomplishments above all things would be his children and family. Gabriel was always proud to speak about the love he had and shared for each and every one of them.

He is survived by his loving wife of over 40 plus years, Eva Cintorino and his beloved children and grandchildren.
