Ivo Cinel Obituary
November 21, 1931 - October 6, 2015
It is with immense sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved husband, father, and nonno Ivo Cinel. As the sun rose on October 6, 2015 Ivo quietly passed away surrounded by his loving family. He is survived by his devoted wife of 48 years, Bianca, his daughter Paola, sons Rino and Bruno (Julie), together with his treasured grandchildren Julian and Alexa. He will be sadly missed by his sister-in-law Franca Cinel, niece Daniela (John) O'Fee and family, and nephew Giovanni Cinel (Cynthia Strong). Also left to mourn his passing, his sister Agnese (Luigi) Lombardelli, sisters-in-law Maria (Battista) Ronfini and Guilia Martinazzo, as well as many nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends in Italy and England. Ivo will also be remembered fondly by his close cousin Angelo Gasparetto and family of Ottawa, as well as the Fiorentini, Monden, Kubicek, and Pockar families of Calgary, Alberta. He is predeceased by his parents, Giovanni Battista and Augusta Cinel, brothers Emilio and Aurelio, and sister Rina Flaherty.
Ivo was born on November 21, 1931, in Crocetta del Montello, Nogaré, Treviso, Italia. He was the fourth child in a hardworking, farming family that struggled in the shadow of the Second World War. A clever and mischievous child growing up, he went on to complete his military service as an Alpino before immigrating to Canada to join his brother Aurelio in 1955. Ivo settled in Kamloops and began work at Kamloops Lumber, and as a general labourer. A few years later, he and his brother Aurelio started a shoe making/shoe repair business in downtown Kamloops. They would go on to work together operating Centre Shoe Renu for over 43 years. It was a family business that instilled the values of hard work in his children, and a place he enjoyed serving his customers and spending time with friends.
Even with little formal education, Ivo applied his resourceful and logical thinking to tackle any problem at work or around the home. His rough and calloused hands were the badge of a true, self-taught "tradesman" who had mastered leatherwork, plumbing, electrical, carpentry, masonry, and construction by combining keen observation and innate ability.
But his great passions in life were his family, friends, and food. These all came together at the Sunday Picnics up on Mount Lolo where many families spent countless afternoons playing bocce, telling stories, and enjoying great meals. For his family, these feasts would often feature his homemade sausages, vegetables and fruits from his abundant garden, and his homemade wine. When he retired at the age of 71, he continued nurturing and tending his garden, often singing old Italian tunes. He fixed anything and everything around the house, volunteered as a lifetime member of the Colombo Lodge, enjoyed his mornings at the gym, and played bocce and cards in the company of friends. Ivo counted himself extra blessed with the arrival of his two grandchildren, and lit up at the mere mention of their names or sound of their voices.
Ivo had survived many hardships in his life, even beating three separate bouts of cancer. He faced every task with boundless energy, and every challenge with steadfast determination. His passing leaves us all heartbroken.
Our family wishes to express our profound thanks to all the physicians, nurses, and health care workers who helped Ivo throughout the years. At this time, we would especially like to extend our deep gratitude to the RIH nurses, students, and staff of 7 North, who went out of their way to make our last days with him comfortable.
Prayers will be recited on Friday, October 16, 2015 at 7:00 pm in Sacred Heart Cathedral (255 Nicola Street) by the Reverends Father Andrew L'Heureux or Father Swann Kim. The Reverend Father Andrew L'Heureux will celebrate the Funeral Mass on Saturday, October 17, 2015 at 11:00 am in the Cathedral. Entombment will follow at Sage Valley Mausoleum.
In lieu of flowers, donation can be made to the Royal Inland Hospital Foundation or the Terry Fox Foundation in Ivo's memory.
