JOHN GIARDINO It was with shock and sadness that our dear father, John Giardino suddenly passed away on Tuesday, October 4, 2016 at the age of 87 years, while visiting his sister in Vancouver. John will be lovingly remembered by his son Tony (Karen), daughter Annamarie (George), sisters Cantida, Alba and Elda, and many in-laws, nephews, nieces, relatives, friends and neighbours. John was predeceased by his beloved wife Linda in May of 2015. John came to Winnipeg from Italy at a very young age to begin a new life. He was a CN employee for 35 years with a great work ethic and never missed a single day of work. John was a kind, caring, generous, fun-loving and well-mannered. The snow never fell nor the leaves at John's place because even at his age he was able to keep his yard so perfect. John was an excellent gardener and he loved to make his own "vino". He was also a big fan of the fights especially wrestling. He and Linda had many trips to Italy, an Alaskan cruise and many trips to Vancouver to visit his sister and family. John was the best care-giver ever for Linda when she fell ill. He never left her side not for a moment. The Doctor would find often them asleep holding hands on the couch. John loved his family, and his kids were everything to him, but his heart ached for Linda and it was hard for him after she was gone. John was extremely grateful for every visit he had and meal brought to him. Funeral services will be held on Tuesday, October 18 at 10:00 a.m. at Thomson "In the Park" Funeral Home, 1291 McGillivray Boulevard. A private interment will take place in Waverley Memorial Gardens, 1501 Waverley Street. Noi ti Amero per Sempre (We will love you forever dad).

Dear Tony, Annamarie and family, In your time of loss you are surrounded by love and caring. Yet the loss you feel is yours alone. We cannot control our destiny nor the destinies of those we love. But we can take comfort in knowing that those who have lived in our hearts are never really far away. The special moments and memories I have of my cousin John and his wife Linda will never change. They will always be in our heart, today and forever. For love, which is timeless, never ceases to exit. Others understand tears for they have shed tears themselves. May you know peace and most of all love, in your time of loss and gently let the healing start. - Posted by: Rose Lyman (Giardino) Pasquale Giardino's daughter (second cousin) on: Oct 17, 2016
