It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Rino Canal, a cherished Husband, Father, Nonno, Zio, and friend, on Saturday, August 17, 2024, surrounded by the love of his family.
Rino was born in Crespano del Grappa, Treviso, Italy, in 1933, and began a new chapter in Vancouver over 69 years ago. He will be remembered for his kindness and dedication to his family and friends. Rino will be deeply missed by his devoted wife of 53 years, Anna Maria; daughter Sandra (Lorenzo); son John (Madhvi); and four grandsons who were his pride and joy. He was a proud nonno. He is also survived by extended family in Canada and Italy.
The Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 10:00 am on Wednesday, August 28, 2024, at Saint Helen’s Church, 3860 Triumph Street, Burnaby.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the BC Cancer Society or Help for Missions Society.
