Ricardo Gino Finoro

For a place where we’ll never die

And the pilot will by my Jesus

To my shack up in the sky

Now don’t be grieving ‘cause I’m leaving

And don’t cry when I say goodbye

There’ll be no grieving to where I’m going

To my shack up in the sky

My journey with Jesus will end my sorrow

Heal my affliction, no more I’ll cry

I’ll be rejoicing while I’m going

To my shack up in the sky

Our cherished dad, Rick Finoro decided enough was enough and decided to do it his way on Friday, March 15, 2019. Despite being given a brief time frame he willed himself to leave us much earlier than anticipated. He joins his father Enrico Finoro (October 18, 2013) and his mother in law Gladys McDonald (July 5, 2007), oh what a reunion that must of been.

Born on November 19, 1955 in Guelph, Ontario, dad leaves behind his "Ma" Nicoletta Finoro and his beloved children. Heidi (JudsonLindsay), Katrina (Bill Whitfield) and Tasha (Rob Johnston). Forever missed and loved by his siblings, Ed (Marlene), Mario (Moira), Joe and his sister Rose. He will be forever known as irreplaceable Poppa to Brittany, Madison, Dominic, Liam, Matteo, Bella and his baby Mercedes. He was "Uncle Rick" to many nephews and nieces. Dad loved our Mum (Colleen) so deeply and did so his entire life. Through Divine intervention prior to his diagnosis, their crazy love story reunited them and their family once again. We are blessed.
