Giuseppe “Pino” Caruso, 63, of Rocky Hill, passed away suddenly on February 15, 2019 at his home. Pino was born on August 1, 1955 in Pianopoli, Italy and was the son of Angela (Mancuso) and the late Antonio Caruso.
Pino was a dedicated employee of Hartford Hospital for more than 25 years and equally dedicated to his deli department family at Stop and Shop in Wethersfield. Pino and his family moved to the United States in 1970 but he never lost his passion and pride for his homeland, and family in Pianopoli. Pino always enjoyed the beautiful culture and traditions that were a huge part of his life. Anyone that knew Pino, knew his immense love for sports in general, especially soccer. In addition to playing for many years, Pino devoted countless hours coaching and refereeing. FORZA INTER! Pino was a deeply devoted family man, he was the rock of his family and his devotion to his family knew no bounds. His loss will leave a huge void in the hearts of all who knew him.
