Marino Golfo passed away at Chinook Care Centre on Thursday July 8, 2021 at the age of 71 years.
Marino is survived by his daughter, Margarette (Len); granddaughter, Marilyn; siblings, Avelina (Belen) & Juanito (Juaning); as well as a very large extended family of cousins, nieces and nephews in Calgary, California, Edmonton, Vancouver, Seattle and the Philippines. He is predeceased by his wife, Penafrancia since 1993; parents, Francisco and Mercedes; and siblings, Pilar, Pastora (Auring), Lorenzo (Joson) and Reginio.
Marino was born in Bailen, Cavite, Philippines and was the youngest of seven children. He immigrated to the Philippines in 1989 when he and Penafrancia were newlyweds and Margarette was an infant. He worked in the food industry as a cook and a dietary aide. He loved to cook in his spare time as well. He was creative in the kitchen and would produce delicious dishes without a recipe. He LOVED karaoke and was a fantastic singer and dancer. He enjoyed listening to the Beatles and his favourite song to sing was Release Me. He was rebellious, outgoing and extroverted – very friendly and sociable. His positive energy and kind soul will be missed by so many.
