Pat had suffered with Parkinson's disease for several years. Born and raised in Vineland to the late Girard and Marie (Leonardo) Canino, Pat graduated from Vineland High School, Class of 1961, and then served a four year apprenticeship for mold making.

Pat was a longtime member of the Parish of All Saints in Millville (St. John Bosco) where he enjoyed working Bingo and serving as an usher. He was also a lifetime member of the Knights of Columbus Council No. 1778 of Millville, serving for three years as Grand Knight. Pat owned a variety of motorcycles over the years. He started riding at age 18 and rode until 2012. He loved traveling, especially across all 48 continental United States with his wife, Gail, on his Honda Goldwing. They also visited Alaska, Hawaii, and took several wonderful trips to Europe, Canada (Vancouver), and Mexico (Cancun). Working on cars, weightlifting, and spending time out in the garage working on various projects were some of Pat's favorite pastimes. Pat will be sadly missed by his loving wife of over 33 years, Gail (Shourds) Canino of Millville; one son Brian Canino (Jackie) of Vineland; one daughter Joyce Canino; one Step-son David Fiamingo (Isabel) of St. Cloud, FL; two sisters, Cornelia Suthard (Tom) of Stow Creek and Marie Martinez (Albert) of CA; seven grandchildren, Joseph, Brittany, Meghan, Pam, Candis, Christina, and Zachary; five great-grandchildren, Scott, MyMy, Jaxson, Cheyenne, and Cayden; and many nieces, nephews, and cousins.
