MARTINO, Vincent Frank Anthony - August 8, 1986 – July 9, 2020 It is with deep sorrow that we announce the sudden passing of our precious Vincent, on Thursday, July 9, 2020.
Vincent is forever loved and cherished by his Mom, Shonaid Stewart (Ian) and Dad, Frank Martino (Sally Wong), grandson of adoring, loving grandparents, Vince and Emilia Martino, of Toronto, Alex (predeceased) and Sheila Marr, fae Aberdeen, Scotland.
Vincent was a blessing upon us on Friday, August 8, 1986 (Mom's birthday) and immediately started pushing our buttons from the get-go.
He did not respond favourably to the command, 'dinnae!', or don't! Vincent shared many wonderful memories with his godfather Uncle Jack and Auntie Janice, his Canadian first cousins Andrew and Amanda, Auntie Phyllis and Auntie Clarette.
His family in Scotland dearly loved and adored our bairn. Godson of Lorraine MacLachan, great-nephew of Norman and Gena Manning (Graeme and David Manning). Predeceased by Uncle Sandy, loving nephew of Uncle Colin and Auntie Lynn, special first cousin of Lauren.
Nephew of Brian and Sandra, cousin to Sarah and Stephen. Ian's mother, Ingeborg Stewart, and the Stewart family will fondly remember him.
Vincent was born in Toronto, raised in Brampton, attended Fr. C.W. Sullivan, Cardinal Leger High School, Sheridan College and Ryerson University, graduating with honours in both college and university.
Vincent adored that Papa and Grandma, and Uncle Norman and Aunt Gena, were often present during his playing days, as "official team grandparents".
ty. Vincent was a poignant, beautiful writer who gifted family and friends with touching letters, cards and poems. His greatest wish and hope was a family of his own, and a dog. Shona and Frank are grateful for the outpouring of support from Vincent's vast circle of friends, his former co-workers, and our extended families.
Sincere thanks to the Wong family for their love and emotional support. Special thanks to Sally, Ian, Vincent's grandparents, and Rev. Paul Begin for their love, guidance and comfort.
Until we meet again, OUR sweet precious bairn, Vincent. We will carry you in our hearts forever and draw upon the countless joyful memories you gave us.
Our Angel, We will Love you Always, Mom and Dad. Chan eil Vincent marbh ach a 'cadal Vincent non emorto ma dorme.
A private family service was held on Tuesday, July 14, 2020, followed by cremation.
If you may wish to consider a donation to the charities dearest to Vincent's heart, in his memory; The Anne Marie D'Amico Foundation in honour of his dear friend, or the Mental Health association of your choice.
