Dr. Charles C. Bianco

It is with heavy heart that we announce the passing of our beloved Charles Carmine Bianco, on October 25, 2022. Charlie is survived by his wife of 57 years, Linda Frank; his three children Jonathan, and wife Eliana; Tom, and wife Kim; and Mandy Quinn, and husband Trent; along with his five grandchildren Ethan Bianco, Bryson and Grayson Bianco, Coco and Winston Quinn; and his two sisters Janice Coleman and Geraldine Corbino. Charlie grew up in East Boston working at his father’s gas station, where he learned the meaning of hard work and began to appreciate a variety of cars. He graduated from Boston Latin School, Boston University, and earned his medical degree from New York Medical College in 1964. While a medical student, he met Linda, a nursing student, at Metropolitan Hospital in New York City. Shortly after their wedding, Charlie was drafted and spent the next two years as Captain in the US Army. They were stationed in Ft. Stewart, Georgia, while he was sent to the Dominican Republic. He finished his medical residency at Strong Memorial Hospital, in Rochester, NY. In 1971, Charlie and his family moved to Tallahassee, Florida, when he joined Radiology Associates. As a pioneer in medicine, Charlie was instrumental in bringing the first CT Scan machine to the region, making Tallahassee Memorial Hospital an early leader in diagnostic medicine. He continued to grow the Radiology Department where he spent the next 40 years dedicating his life to his patients. He rounded out his career with an additional ten years at Vascular Surgery Associates. Charlie relished taking road trips with his family when his children were young, and vacations with his wife to Europe and abroad. They spent many weekends in Apalachicola, where you could find him relaxing on the front porch with a medical journal or enjoying the local cuisine. Spending time with his grandchildren made him smile, especially when he saw them accomplish their goals. Services for Charlie will be held at Trinity United Methodist Church on Sunday, October 30, at 2:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to The Salvation Army in his name (https://give.salvationarmyusa.org/ ). Rocky Bevis of Bevis Funeral Home (850-385-2193 or www.bevisfh.com) is assisting the Bianco family with their arrangements.
