Obituary
Cino, Charles “Bud” Stewart….
January 10, 1938 – February 9, 2026
Suddenly on Monday, February 9, 2026, Bud passed away at University Hospital, London. He will be sorely missed by his wife Gail Lindsay, his son Michael Cino (Chemine), daughter Debra Curtis, daughter Kim Lindsay, daughter Kathryn Dobson (nee Lindsay). Loved and missed by his friend and “second wife” Carol Thompson. Loved by many and will be missed by his grandchildren, Jazmin, Joshua, Devin, Austin, August and Dylan.
Bud always said it like it is but with a heart of gold. He loved to cook for his extended family and friends and his food was divine. He was an avid and accomplished snooker player, played poker and gin and loved to wander a construction site. Bud loved the people and atmosphere of his family. We will miss him dearly.
In keeping with his wishes, Bud has been cremated and a party will be held in Spring 2026.

To all those who knew this larger than life person, my condolences. Bud was a very influential person in my life. If he even suspected I was down, he’d always check to see if I was okay. “Are you okay kid?” He’d ask, which could bring me to tears if I wasn’t. He tirelessly and selflessly cared for my Mom up to the day he had to leave his home in an ambulance from a small heart attack. I’m so thankful to my sister Kim for being there to comfort Bud while he waited for the EMTs. Grateful also to my brother Michael and his wife Chemine who have done all the after care with the hospital, etc. If you knew Budly, you had an opinion about him. This was not some wilting personality. Bud lived and loved large. He was always there for me, building decks and putting up sheds while Mom handed him tools and held the other end of what ever needed holding. He rebuilt the corner of my foundation on my first home in Wortley Village and has looked over every home I’ve ever purchased. Bud was who I would call when cooking something new? This man made colossal dinners for family, friends and guests of same. You could always bring someone along to the party and we all did at one time or another. Who wouldn’t want to share Bud with others, he was pretty damn amazing. His door was always open and his generosity huge! He would always invite certain friends, who had an interest, out to his workshop to see the latest tool he’d purchased (IYKYK) and then all would come back in to devour the delicious meal he had spent days preparing. His meatballs were divine dare I say otherworldly! Bud, I love you and I’m going to miss you so damn much! 💔😢
Kim & family, I’m so sorry for your loss of dear Bud. I hope the memories of his warm and caring heart will bring you smiles.
There are no words to express how lucky and grateful I was to have this amazing man in my life. Bud would always greet me with “Hi Darling, how are you doing?” with his arms open wide for a giant hug. This was not a once in a while greeting. It was every time I walked in the door for over 30 years. He knew when you needed to talk and get advice about something no matter how trivial. He lived life with an abundance of happiness.
His selfless care and love for his soulmate, Gail, was truly inspiring. Gail was his soulmate and his son Michael was his joy. Words don’t exist to explain the love between Michael and Bud, Father and Son. Life will never be the same without you here.
My deepest condolences to everyone whose life he touched.
So sorry to hear of Bud’s passing. Myself and Judy offer our heartfelt condolences to all of The Cino family. Have not seen Bud for a few years but I have many good memories going back over fifty years. One I will share is going to the Cue and Cushine at Westtown plaza in the sixties and watching the ongoing stroke golf game on the 12 foot snooker table. Many great players but it was alway’s Bud and his way around the table that I would watch the most and I learned by watching Mr Cino. I have often said that I learned more from observing Bud than any other. A true gentleman. Thank you, Bud. You are missed.
