It is with great sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of Marino, our beloved Nonno and Father at the Sault Area Hospital on Wednesday, April 2, 2025 at the age of 88.

Loving husband of the late Ermilda who passed in 2011. Loving father of Larry (Jan), Liana Seccareccia (John) and Susan Keenan. A devoted and proud grandfather “Nonno” who never missed a sporting event of his six grandsons. He will be sadly missed by Matthew (Ali), Cole (Ali) and Justin Bertolissi, Alec Seccareccia, Nick and Mark Keenan. Special father-in-law of Tom Keenan. Predeceased by his brother Reno of Sault Ste. Marie, his sister Lidia of Calgary and survived by his younger sister Adriana of Italy. He shared a special bond with his nephew Louis Bertolissi (Nancy) and their family. Marino will be missed by his many nieces and nephews in Canada, and Italy. 

A celebration of life will follow at a later date. Should you wish, memorial donations may be made in his memory to the Sault Area Hospital Foundation.

We’d like to thank all the wonderful nursing staff and physicians in the ICU at the Sault Area Hospital who treated Marino with such care and compassion. Arrangements entrusted to Northwood Funeral Home Cremation and Reception Centre (942 Great Northern Rd, 705-945-7758).
