Rosolino Ross Pisano

Rosolino Ross "Butch" Pisano, 12/26/48 - 3/20/17.  Beloved and adored husband of Olivia (Buscemi).  Beloved father of Jennifer (Troy) Bonnier, dearest grandfather of Grant, Chandler, Anna, and Ainsley Van Deusen.  Brother of Kay Venet and Tom (Peggy) Pisano.  Brother-in-law of Serafin Buscemi and Joe (Tina) Buscemi.  Loving uncle of TJ (Lauren) Pisano and Katie Pisano, uncle and Buddy of Tori and Tony.  Pre deceased by his parents, Ross and Lorma (Curcuri) Pisano.  Also, numerous cousins and friends.  
Ross was a self-employed painter for over 55 years, following in his father's footsteps.  His business grew word of mouth, as many of his customers would refer him to their family and/or friends.  Ross was never just a painter but became part of his customers' lives.  It was this one of connection that led him to the love of his life, Olivia, when he came to her house to give her an estimate to paint it.  There was an instant connection & they were inseparable from that point on.  He was a rock for Olivia as she went through her many health issues but he never let that get her down.  They had numerous adventures; Ross allowed Olivia to plan anything she wanted and he would gladly follow her wherever she would lead.
There was never a more devoted son than Ross.  He took care of his father, after his mother passed away, and especially during his last years.  He drove his father every January to Del Ray Beach where his father had a condo at Imperial Villas.  He would stay for a few days to repair anything that needed fixing and return in April to drive him home.  While his father was in Michigan, Ross was at his father's house every morning to set up his medications & make sure he had breakfast; he would return in the afternoon to check on him & make sure he had dinner.  This was a tireless routine for Ross and he wouldn't have had it any other way.
Ross was a gentle, loving man, caring for all people equally.  All who knew him like him instantly.  He did not have a mean bone in his body.  There are few people who compare to him.  And there will never be anyone else, he was irreplaceable.
A Funeral Service will be held 11AM Monday, March 27 at Bagnasco & Calcaterra Funeral Home, 25800 Harper Ave, St Clair Shores. Visitation will be Saturday & Sunday From 2-9PM. Burial to follow in Cadillac Memorial Gardens -East.
