Marino was a loving Husband, Father, Grandfather, Great Grandfather and Great Great Grandfather. He had a great love for Ice Hockey and was a dedicated minor Hockey League coach for 20 years in Southern California and Thunder Bay, Ontario. Marino, also lovingly known as "Mino" and his wife Jan spent many summers and winters fishing at Lac De Mille Lac where they had a beautiful camp overlooking the lake. He and Jan later wintered in Mesa Arizona where Marino enjoyed playing golf, making new friends, and tending a variety of cacti that were often gifts to his neighbors and friends. With the hands of a skilled plasterer and laborer, Marino added a special touch to every residence that he owned. He taught his children the importance of working hard and how to think creatively, for which they are grateful.

The family wants to thank the caregivers at Hogarth Riverview Manor, 1 North for their care of Marino over the past two and a half years during his battle with Dementia.
