ELINO VILLANUEVA We announce with great sadness in our hearts the passing of Elino Villanueva on March 26, 2008 at the young age of 47. Born on February 3, 1961 in Santa Cruz, Marinduque, Philippines, he was raised, along with three sisters and three brothers, by his parents Antonio and Zosima Villanueva. He moved to Winnipeg in 1982 where he met Vivian, his loving wife since 1986. He started a family business, Better Painting and Decorating, to support and provide for his family. His legacy will be continued. He was a hardworking and supportive man who knew how to enjoy life. When time permitted he went fishing and camping with his family, and could be relied upon to sing at least three karaoke songs during gatherings. He is survived by his wife Vivian, his sons Michael and Marvin, mother Zosima, siblings Lucy, Delia, Emma, Bert, Angelito, and Sonny. Elino was predeceased by his father Antonio. He was known as a loving husband, father, son, brother, uncle, and friend. He will be missed by us all.
