Listed in Memorials
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the peaceful passing of Giuseppe (Joe) Bianco on Saturday, January 25, 2025, at Lakeridge Health Bowmanville, in his 92nd year.
Joe is survived by his loving companion, Marie Devlin. He was the devoted father of Anthony Bianco (Dolly) and Maria Graham (Robert). He was a beloved Nonno to Wesley (Laura) and Lauren, and Great Nonno to Theo.
Joe was also a dear stepfather to Elaine Devlin, Shawn Devlin, Michelle Solomon, Nicole Devlin (David), Paul Devlin, and Gary Devlin (Denise). He was a loving Nonno to James (Amanda), Meghan (Tom), Joseph (Rikki), Andrew, John, Rachael (Robert), Maria, Charlotte, and Quinn, and Great Nonno to Scott, Dominic, Myla, Emmett, Colm, Auden, and Tom.
Joe was predeceased by his sister Giuseppina Lo Truglio (Vito) and his brothers Rosario Bianco (Rosina) and Vito Bianco (Esterina).
Joe was a proud butcher and meat cutter, spending over 40 years as a valued team member at Windcrest Farms. He also worked and managed Wilson’s Abattoir. He began his career in Canada at Pedlar People Company in Oshawa after emigrating from Santa Ninfa, Sicily, in 1954. Joe was a dedicated member of the Oshawa Italian Recreation Club and the Bocci Club and a parishioner of St. Mary of the People Catholic Church. He was a founding 3rd Degree Knight of the parish.
Giuseppe lived a life full of generosity, whether tending his garden, playing bocci, cooking meals for friends and family, or offering a listening ear. His warm spirit touched everyone he met, and he will be remembered as a man who always made time for others.
