MARINO URSI
Marino will be sadly missed by his loving wife, Maria Antonietta, of 58 years and Godson Joseph Torchia (Costanza). Marino was born in Gorizia, Italy, and came to live in Winnipeg in 1970. He retired in 1995 after many years as a machinist at CN Transcona shop.
Left behind to cherish his memory are wife Maria Antonietta, sister Teresa and family, sisters-in-law, Anna and family, Annamaria, brother-in-law Giorgio (Silva) and family and dear friends, Agostino Torchia (Maria) and family, Franca (Ross) and family and Giorgio and family plus many nieces and nephews. Marino was predeceased by his parents, Maria and Pietro, brother Ferrante, sister Lucia, brothers-in-law, Riccardo and Antonio, plus much loved Uncle Andrea Arcioni and family.
Marino was a man of few words and few wants with a loving and gentle soul. He enjoyed travelling and especially cherished spending many summers in Italy visiting with family and friends, sharing a good laugh and a glass of wine.
A celebration of Marino's life will be held on Sunday, June 23 at 6:00 p.m. in the Coutu Funeral Chapel, 680 Archibald Street.
In lieu of flowers, donations to the Manitoba Lung Association will be greatly appreciated in honouring Marino's memory.

My dear Maria... I am so sorry to hear of Marino's passing. He was a special man. I will never forget the "special" drinks he made for Ed in your amazing basement bar. I lost Ed three years ago. The grief is always there but friends and family will carry you through. He will be missed by all who knew him. Valarie - Posted by: Valarie Newsham (Friend) on: Jun 25, 2019

So very sorry to hear of Marino's passing. He was such a nice man, funny and enjoyed sharing good times with family and friends. On behalf of my family I offer the most sincere condolences for your loss and know you have a lifetime of memories to help you through this difficult time. I'm sure he's with "Cioni" watching down and looking out for the family. GOD bless. - Posted by: Heather McCheyne (Long time Arcioni family friend) on: Jun 23, 2019

I remember Marino from the first day he started at CN Transcona Shops as a machinist. I was also a recent immigrant from Ireland, so I guess that management of the day thought we would make a good pair. And so we did, although we both had a few communication problems with our accents, nevertheless, we managed to make a good go of it. Marino, was indeed a gentle, kind-hearted, loving gentleman. We got on like "a house on fire" for a number of years until our courses within CN changed and we went our separate ways. I still have many cherished memories Of Marino. I'm sure he will be missed by many. - Posted by: Grant RODGERS (Friend) on: Jun 22, 2019
