It is with great sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of Emilio on January 10, 2026 at Aspira Heatherwood Retirement home at the age of 98. Lovingly remembered by his son Tito (Linda nee Marangoni) and grandson Eric (Daniel) and granddaughter Kristen, and his sister Sandra. Predeceased by his wife Faldina (Ferri), his sisters Ersilia, Vincenzina and brothers Gustavo and Arnaldo Vittorini.

Emilio was born in Preturo, Italy. During his military duty, he became a skilled tradesman. Initially he independently emigrated to Venezuela in the early 1950’s and worked there several years. In the early 60’s, he decided to seek opportunities in Canada, Montreal in particular. Eventually he moved to Hamilton and became employed as a machinist at Rheem Canada, where he spent his remaining working years. In 1963, he met and married the love of his life, Faldina and settled on the east mountain in Hamilton.

In his retirement years, Emilio walked, cycled and lifted weights to stay in shape. He loved to cook, garden and was known to use his handyman skills to help others.

We would like to thank Dr. Jayawardene and the staff at Aspira Heatherwood for the compassionate care and professionalism that they provided during his final months.

Arrangements have been entrusted to Bay Gardens Funeral Home (1010 Botanical Drive, Burlington). Visitation will be held on Tuesday, Jan 13, 2026 from 2-4pm and 6-8pm. A funeral Service will take place on Wednesday, January 14 at 11am at Bay Gardens funeral home followed by entombment at Holy Sepulchre Catholic Cemetery. A reception for family and friends will follow at Bay Gardens. Donations to the Heart and Stroke Foundation and CAMH would be appreciated by the family.
