Dino Giancola Obituary
GIANCOLA, Dino Alfred Dino Alfred Giancola, 49, of East Falmouth, MA, died in a car accident in Massachusetts on Saturday (October 15, 2005). Born on August 27, 1956, in New Britain, he was the beloved son of Mrs. Rita Giancola and the late Alfred L. Giancola. Dino was raised in New Britain and attended New Britain High School and E.C.

He was an accomplished Executive Chef and worked at some of the countries finest restaurants, including the Space Needle in Seattle, WA; Caesers Palace in Las Vegas, NV; and the Sheraton P.G.A.

Dino celebrated life and inspired happiness in others. He was an exceptionally giving man whose sense of family was of the highest caliber. There was nothing he wouldn't do for family or friend. If you knew him, you loved him. Calling hours will be on Wednesday, Oct. 19, from 5-9 p.m. at Kfoury Keefe Funeral Home, 8 Spring St., West Roxbury, MA 02132.

Dino will always live in my memory as a generous, kind, funny, enthusiastic, dependable friend, who would give the shirt off his back for anyone in need. I know that all who knew him will agree. God Bless Dino and may his family know the treasure that his life was to all of us who knew him, and that our love and support will always be close by.

I had Rita as a dance teacher. I was at some of the celebrations when Dino was present. To me, he reminded me of Al (his father). I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I will certainly remember you in prayers.
