Dr. Pino,
Thank you for all the wonderful years. The lessons you have taught me through music have shaped me into the man I am today. You are my greatest teacher. You were a great friend. My family and I send our deepest sympathies.

Farewell dear Friend. You will be missed not only by the accordion world, but by everyone in the music world. The wisdom you imparted lives on through your students and friends.

Carmelo was a great person in my musical life. He helped me a great deal with accordion repairs. Whenever my accordion was being repaired he didn't hesitate to let me borrow his.
The accordion world has lost another legend.

Our deepest condolences on your loss. We have had a realtionship with Carmelo going back to junior high school, through high school, and into later life. He was always a modest gentleman who never let his accomplishments change him. He always found time to chat whether he was busy performing at an affair or meeting somewhere. He was held in high esteem by everyone who knew him.

Dr. Carmelo Pino was my close friend, my teacher and fellow member of the American Accordionists' Association's governing board. He remained a kind, thoughtful gentleman even as dementia took over his life. I always marveled at his amazing musicianship and enjoyed his wonderful sense of humor. My husband Dan and I send our deepest sympathy to his family.
