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. He then went on to work as a mold maker at Wheaton Glass Co. in Millville for over 38 years, retiring in 2003. 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.
