Obituary
Vacca, Armando Biagio Davide
September 18, 1957 ~ December 28, 2015
"I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith." (2 Timothy 4:7). And fight he did. For those of you that don't know, the name Armando means soldier. He personified this in the last few years of his life, fighting against his disease that eventually claimed him. Through his battle, he showed strength, dignity, and above all, courage. He was a man who liked to give gifts more than receive them, and what better gift did he give than his life? He devoted it to his loving wife of 33 years, Lori, his daughter Alexandra, son Addison, and son-in-law Joshua Alvernia. Precious son to Nadia Mastrantoni and the late Pasqualino Vacca, step-son to Angelo Mastrantoni and son-in-law to Joan and the late Maxwell Horne. He was a loving older brother to Patty and her husband Steve Fticar, Paul Vacca and Connie Rodrigues. He will also be missed by nieces and nephews, especially Jeremy and Kara Fticar, aunts, uncles, cousins, in-laws, extended family, colleagues and many dear friends.
Armando was a pillar of the community through his financial planning business, and dedicated himself to his family of clients who depended on his counsel. He was a wise leader and mentor to his amazing staff at Kingsview Financial (A.D. Vacca Financial). His call was to love and serve God and others; and to lead many into the deepest relationship they can have with Our Triune God. There were many healing hands that contributed to the care of Armando, and the family wishes to thank each of them for their compassion and prayer support during this trial. Although it may have come too soon, he looked forward to being in the arms of his Saviour.
Well done, good and faithful servant.
In lieu of flowers, donations to Good Shepherd, Mission Services, City Kidz, Living Rock or charity of your choice would be greatly appreciated by the family.

Dear Lori, Alex, Addie & Josh,
Words cannot express the sorrow that we feel. Armando was truly an amazing person whom God put on this earth to do great things. He was so generous, loving and so strong in his faith, a beautiful role model. He will be missed by everyone he touched on this earth. We loved him like a brother. He is God's arms and will protect us from the great kingdom of Heaven. Our most heart-felt condolences to the whole family.

We share in your grief. We share in your sorrow. Joy will follow in knowing that Armando is with the Savior. We are blessed to have known him. His courage and love for God will forever be a daily encouragement to us. "And now these three remain: Faith, hope and love" 1 Corinthians 13:13. Armando exemplified all three. Our prayers are with you. Love Steven, Christine, Nathan and James Hilton |

Surely this is a difficult time, but please know that God chooses his angels wisely, and I am sure it was time for this angel on earth to make his place in heaven, and take a breath of fresh air that only the Lord could provide for him!! May your hearts heal quickly and fully!! God bless you!! |
