Mirboo North Italian Festa

Vale Armando (Mano) Romano
It is with a heavy heart and great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Armando (Mano) Romano, member of our Mirboo North Italian Festa family and husband of Rosie Romano, our Festa coordinator.
Mano passed away last Thursday after a brave battle with Parkinson’s and cancer.
He was one of many who worked hard and tirelessly behind the scenes to make sure our Festa was set up and ready to go each year. Mano will always be remembered for his sense of fun, his generosity, and his willingness to help wherever and whenever needed. He was proud of his Italian heritage and loved sharing his love of Italian food and music with everyone, never missing an opportunity to break into song with anyone who would join in.
We are devastated at the loss of our dear friend and the Mirboo North Italian Festa community extend our deepest sympathies to Rosie and the whole Romano family.
RIP Mano, you will be dearly missed.
