Within a few years, he began working for Balbi Construction and construction remained with him from then on; framing, home building and his cement work which he always wanted to be done perfectly. Bruno was never a man to say “No” to anyone who asked for help. He loved his bobcat (his toy) and right up to last year when his contractors called to do some bobcat work, he was there to help them out.
Bruno was a very active member of the Italian community, always available to lend a hand where needed. He will be remembered by his friends and family for his generosity and good hearted nature.

Eventually he was promoted to the head gardener position, where he oversaw the Brewery Hill Tourist Attraction at its peak. He also took care of the Edmonton Brewery for Molson’s for many years. He was involved in the local community through the Horticultural Club and travelled to towns in Southern Alberta, educating people on proper gardening practices. For his horticultural service in Southern Alberta, he received a lifetime honorary membership in the Alberta Horticultural Society. He also co-hosted a radio show, during which time the Mr. Greenthumb name was coined for him. In 1990, he opened up his own greenhouses and worked there until retirement. Stanley loved to go fishing, picking mushrooms, and spending time with his German shepherds. In the latter years, he spent many days camping and picking mushrooms with his only granddaughter Aleksandra, all the while whittling away, making canes for all his friends and acquaintances.

GIUSEPPINA “JOSEPHINE” VIANI, beloved wife of the late Giuseppe “Joe” Viani, of Lethbridge, passed away at the St. Michael’s Health Centre, Palliative Care Unit, on Monday, July 11, 2016 at the age of 85 years.
She is lovingly remembered by her two sons, Angelo (Pam) and Tony (Linda), two grandchildren, Bryan and Kimberly and two great-grandchildren Kyeler and Alexis. Also left to mourn her passing are her two sisters, Maria and Felicetta of Civitanova del Sannio, Italy, as well as numerous nieces and nephews. Josephine was predeceased by her husband Joe in 2014 and after 59 years of marriage.
Josephine immigrated to Canada in 1966 with her two small children, joining her husband who had arrived 3 years earlier to secure a job and create a home for the family. Almost immediately she began working at Ducan Industries as a seamstress. Later she was hired by Lethbridge Regional Hospital and worked as a housekeeper until she retired at the age of 59. Josephine loved to cook her special Italian food dishes for her family and friends. It was not unusual for her to spend days preparing for the big meal. She was a fabulous cook with her signature dish being her famous baked lasagne. Josephine was most proud when she was in her kitchen. She was known as “Josephine” to her English friends of whom she made many and known as “Pina” to her many lifelong friends in the Italian community.
Josephine attended Assumption Church and was an active member of the Catholic Women’s League. During the last few years of her life, the residents and staff of Martha’s House, Chinook Regional Hospital, and St. Michael’s Hospital all became fast friends. She was a very social person that enjoyed playing Mexican Train and Bingo with her friends at Martha’s House. Josephine also had a truly remarkable talent for remembering everyone’s first name and a little bit about them. She loved to travel back to her home town and was very proud of her Italian heritage.
Josephine will be missed by everyone who knew her but she will certainly never be forgotten. A special thanks to Randy and the care teams of CRH and St Michael’s; “She’s OK”.
