He worked with perseverance and dedication building a life in Canada; raising his family, working in construction, 25 yrs of service as a retired worker of Dofasco. His focus and determination will never be forgotten. Carlo was known for his passion for family and his bountiful garden. He was so proud of keeping his garden in impeccable order. He even loved sharing his homegrown vegetables with neighbours. Family, garden, homemade wine and succulent prosciutto are Carlo's forever signature. In these last few months of his life, we will never forget about the dedicated and caring Staff of Oncology Day Services and C4 at the Juravinski Hospital, LHIN and VON services. Also, special thanks to Dr. Almakadi for your kindness and support. We are thankful for your unselfish care of our father and husband.
