I love you Pino so much It feels like a dream. I am so happy I spent the whole day with you on Friday, October 10. You were an amazing younger brother and you will be deeply missed words cannot even express.
He tried to appear tough and intimidating but anyone that truly knew Pino knew he was a joker with a loving heart.
His dedication to caring for his family, especially for his son knows no bounds. No matter how big or small the situation was, you could always count on Pino to help the best way he could. He would move mountains if it meant his loved ones would benefit.
He never missed an opportunity to make you feel loved. Whether it was through his words, or him bringing you food and a dessert, he created memories for a lot of us to carry and reflect on.
While it still baffles me on how he could be a Leafs fan for so long, his passion for sports was contagious. Making even the smallest games important and exciting.
He left big shoes to be filled in this world. His smile and laugh will forever be remembered.
I’m so sorry for the loss of your dear brother 🙏 my condolences to you and the all family. Rest in peace.🙏😇💐
Life feels so empty without you. I will miss you forever!
Rest in peace Pinot grigio❤️
I am so sorry for your loss, my condolences to you and your family.
With the deepest sadness we want to say goodbye to our colleague Pino!
You will be greatly missed our friend 😞🙏
Our prayers and thoughts for all Fusaro family 🙏
Rest in peace Pino
Caretakers team at Our Lady of Sorrows Catholic school
I feel at peace knowing you are with your parents, family and friends.
Not a lot of people get to say goodbye to their loved ones. I got that chance, we hugged hard. I still remember how he smelled. We looked into each other’s eyes, kissed and said I love you, and goodbye. I will remember and cherish those last moments with you forever.
Thirty years of memories have been replaying through my mind. Some so sweet and some not so much! But I want to remember it all. The good, the bad and the ugly, to keep your memory alive.
If you knew Pino you know he was a proud Italian, a true Calabrese!
Hard headed,
quick tempered,
always talked with his hands and those eyes, wow, they literally made me melt at times but also scared me and others! But it wouldn’t be long before we were crying /laughing together again.
We fought hard but we loved even more.
I will miss the fog of your axe sprays and the 10 times too many squirts of cologne
you would spray yourself with.
I will truly miss your beautiful eyes, your contagious laughter and the smile I fell In love with. I will forever remember our last text message to each other
sorry…
It’s inappropriate to share!
You will be greatly missed, I love you so much,
catch you at the 513
See you on the other side my love.
love,
You didn’t have to see Pino to know he was around, because the smell of his cologne would announce his presence right away. Anyone that knew Pino knows exactly what that means. That scent will bring me sadness for a long time, a reminder that he is no longer with us. But I hope one day it will bring me comfort, a reminder that he actually is still with us, just in a different way.
Watching us from above, I know he will look out for every single one of us until we meet again.
For now I will settle with meeting him through a bite of tiramisu. Through an espresso or bite of ravioli, that he would always make sure is drizzled in only olive oil – just for me. Through a sports game or his shirts he let me take from him. And I’ll continue to meet him through his son, Giuseppe’s eyes, smile and jokes.
Pino thank you for allowing me to continue on with some of the best memories of being my uncle. I don’t know if you knew it but some of those conversations we had a couple years ago really helped me more than I think you could imagine.
I am grateful I had the chance to tell you I love you and hear your voice.
Please visit us, even as a shadow, even as a dream.
Pino you always had my back. Leaving home and taking me in, the tough love. The scary straight remarks. His eyes told you everything, the love he has for you, the things he wants for you and believes you deserve. He helped me grow, he pushed me out of my comfort zone. Whether it was a job, a new apartment. I never understood how he knew I had it in me. He never gave me a chance or a choice for that matter to fail. He was always there to reassure me that I could do it. I miss you pino, the way you would enter the room with that ruthless, at times, sense of humour. The way you were with my kids , hearing the excitement of zelia shouting Zio pino! Pino- your advice, your confidence in me has helped me have confidence in myself. Thank you for being there for me in such an important time of my life. We love you.
My Zio was one of the best people I knew. There truly was no one like him. He was tough as nails but had a heart of gold. He had a tough exterior but would also do anything for the ones he loved. He was present for every exciting milestone in my life and was always the first to check in. He weathered life’s storms with a quiet resilience. Despite all of his challenges, he still chose to not make things about him and always about others.
Watching him become a dad was a blessing. He loved Giuseppe and being a father. It was the first time in life when I witnessed his vulnerability. He no longer had his guard up all of the time because being a father seemed to change his perspective.
His bright smile and contagious laughter could make anyone’s day. There will forever be a void in our lives now that he’s gone. His love and our relationship was truly irreplaceable. His legacy will continue on through the beautiful memories we’ve created.
I’ll miss our talks, I’ll miss your laugh, I’ll miss your jokes and most importantly, I’ll forever miss you.
Until we meet again, Zi.
Love you always,
Christina
Pino, my love, my heart breaker.
Our hearts are broken, this moment in time where all we have left are memories and no possibility of making new ones together.
It was once the three of us and
Now it is just the two of us,
But we are not alone as we see and feel the love that has been coming through
his closest friends and loved ones, who have shown their love and respect b/c that’s what Pino was all about….
RESPECT ….
Bottom line.
There were many things we needed to accomplish, ,
all of Giuseppe’s achievements
which I’m positive
will happen.
We needed to explore, the world! Italy was supposed to be our next trip, 2026, after World Cup of course!
I have to mention again, pino was a true Italian, but when it came to Euro cup and
Portugal won.!!!
geez P I’m sorry for mentioning this at your funeral but the truth is we won!! and well…..
back to the point
what did pino do?
He bought Giuseppe everything Portugal from the shoes, shorts and tops with banners , balloons and all.
Pino spoke about respect all the time and you all showed us your love and respect for pino and for that we couldn’t been happier . and I/we thank you.
Please remember pino and remember to love one another now. Bc life is too short.
