In loving memory of Bill (William) Santino
10/18/1949 - 2/11/2015

Location: Newhall, California

Visits: 27,307

This memorial was created to honor our father, Bill (William) Santino of Newhall, California. Bill was born on October 18, 1949 in Burbank and passed unexpectedly on February 11, 2015. Bill was loved by many and will be dearly missed by all friends and family.

Our dad was adventurous. He loved the outdoors and enjoyed every bit of it. He was a pilot, scuba diver, and deep-sea fisherman. His favorite place to be was on his boat in the ocean. He enjoyed hiking, camping, kayaking, free diving and most recently loved to spend time building custom fishing rods. He also enjoyed photography and taking pictures at his grandkids' sporting events and family gatherings.

A great interest of his was treasure hunting. He had recently read several books regarding lost gold and old mines. We had an upcoming trip to go exploring in the desert near old mines as well as visit an old gold rush town. He was so excited to share treasure hunting with his grandkids and had bought a special metal detector that would be easy for them to play with. Another great love of his was his little dog, Cha Cha. He spoiled her rotten.

We would be very happy if you would share on this site a memory (no matter how simple or silly), a photo, or a story (including work stories, as those who knew him know how much self-pride he put into all projects including work). He was a much-loved dad, grandpa, brother, uncle and friend.

We are honoring our father's wishes by having a private, family memorial. Our dad would have wanted his friends and coworkers to have a laugh, eat some sushi, and tip a beer together while exchanging stories and memories.

If you wish, in lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation to a local animal shelter, as our father had a soft spot for animals.

Sincerely,
Shauna Santino Mullin

We wish there was a way on this site to personally reply to those of you that have left a condolence, but please know we are very appreciative! Thank you so much!

I worked with Bill for about 10 years at ThyssenKrupp Elevator. I didn't really know Bill on a personal level but WOW, what an Elevator man! I don't think there was anything he couldn't fix. I was fortunate enough to have Bill on the service route next to mine for a year or so. That was an easy year for me because when you have such a great mechanic working in your area it makes your job so much easier. Not a lazy bone in his body. Bill is missed!

I will remember Bill taking pictures to record and highlight all the big events in the grankids' lives, and his generosity in sharing many of them with me. A very good guy, who will be missed. Perry

My thoughts and prayers are with the Santino Family at this time. I worked with Bill for several years, he spoke of his grandkids often. His love of fishing, boats, the ocean was well known. I will always have fond memories of Bill.

Bill was one of the most hardworking people I have ever known. He also loved his children and Grankids with a passion and loved nothing more than spending time with them...especially in the great outdoors. He will be sooo missed by his family. RIP Bill
