Francesco BIAFORA Obituary
It is with heavy hearts that we express the peaceful passing of Pino, surrounded by his family's love on February 23, 2012 from Hepatitis B which lead to cirrhosis of the liver. Forever loved by his soulmate and companion Anna, sharing 40 years of marriage. Cherished and devoted dad of Mena & Joe Vincelli, Rosanna & Ross Panzica and Laura & Louis Bertoia. Adored nonno of Ava, Angelina, Rosario and Silvia. Predeceased by his parents Filomena and Rosario Biafora. Dear brother of Maria & late husband Antonio Danti, Antonio Biafora, Pasquale Biafora, and the late Rosa and Antonietta. Beloved son-in-law of the late Giovanni and Mariarosa Iaquinta. Loved brother-in-law of Frank & Ivana Iaquinta, Vincenza Iaquinta and Marylou Iaquinta, the late Mario & late Maria-Pia Iaquinta and the late Joe Iaquinta & wife Virginia Iaquinta. Special cousin of Tony and Albina Pignanelli. Survived by many nieces, nephews, cousins and dear friends. Pino was humble about his many talents, he was a painter, sculptor, musician and lead vocalist with his band "I Figli Del Sole" for 35 years. Pino had his wood working business for 40 years, many of his beautiful pieces can be found in homes & churches throughout the city. He was a member of the Giovanni Caboto Club and an active referee for the Ontario Soccer Association. His intelligence, wisdom and kindness will forever live in his family's hearts. Visitation at

Pino and I played in a wedding band together for years along with Vito Florres and many others. We played mainly in Detroit.I was an organ player. We always had mutual respect for each others talents. I live in Edmonton now and will not be able to attend. My fond memories of our band days and friendship many years ago are still very vivid and bring many fond memories.
With love
