It is with great sadness, but fond and loving memories that we announce the passing of Bino Genovese on May 30, 2011 after a difficult struggle with cancer. Bino was born in Selva del Montello, Italy and came to Canada in 1951. He was a standing member of the Alpini. Bino is survived by his two sisters, Maria (Italy) and Anna, his two sons, Robert & Gregory (Australia), his nieces and nephews and great-nieces and great-nephews.  He will be remembered by his family and numerous friends for his love of life – good food, good drink, good company. A Funeral Mass with a celebration of his life following will take place at 11 am on June 7th at St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church, 2025 Napier St., Vancouver. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the B.C. Cancer Foundation.
