Dino Giardetti

Dino Nicola Giardetti, born on August 27, 1932, in Toronto, Ontario, passed away on November 15, 2025, at the age of 93, at West Park Long Term Care. Dino was known for his generous, humorous, honest, hard-working, loyal, and resilient nature.

Dino was a professional and extraordinary musician, specializing in the accordion. He was predeceased by his father, Sebastian, mother, Anna, sister, Bertha, and beloved brother and best friend, Arthur, in 2022. Dino is survived by his brother, Robert (Irene), and their children, Toni and Angela; his sister, Nora, and her son, Dino Jr. He also leaves behind his devoted friend of over 50 years, Audrey Pankhurst (Victor), their son, Danny Pankhurst (Rita), and cherished uncle Dino to Victoria Pankhurst and Gianmichele.

Dino had a passion for the accordion and admired figures such as Gordie Howe, Perry Como, Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby, Dean Martin, and Whipper Billy Watson. His all-time favourite was Rocky Marciano, whom he proudly called his cousin.

The family would like to thank the team at West Park Long Term Care for their support during Dino's stay.

As Dino would often say, "Italians are number one, they are the best in the world."
