In Celebration of

Frank Della Maestra

October 31, 1965 -  December 3, 2018

It is with the greatest of sadness that we are announcing the unexpected passing of Frank on Monday, December 3, 2018. Frank will be deeply missed by his loving wife, Angela, his son and daughter, Adam and Laura, mother Lucia, sister and brother-in-law, Gloria and Colin Walker, mother and father-in-law, Loreta and Claudio Sciullo, brother and sister-in-law, Joe and Rosemarie Sciullo, and niece and nephews, Bradley, Rachael, Luca and Vincent. Frank was predeceased by his proud father, Ladino. Aunts, uncles, cousins and friends will also miss Frank's exceptional talent in bringing people together to have fun.

Frank was a positive and high energy person who will always be remembered by friends and family as someone who was caring, generous and hardworking. He always put people first. But Frank also had a great sense of humour and a creative and mischievous streak. We will all remember his good-natured pranks and sharing many good laughs. Born in Hamilton, Frank graduated from Mohawk College before joining Walmart Canada where he had a long and successful career that spanned over 30 years. Frank was an innovator; his vision and leadership created the Walmart Innovation Centre. He developed the initial concept and brought the Innovation Centre to life; a centre of collaboration which reflects what Frank was all about.

Markey Chapel" , 947 Rymal Road East, HAMILTON on Sunday, December 9, 2018 from 5:00 - 9:00 p.m. Funeral Mass will be held on Monday, December 10, 2018 at 10:00 a.m. at St. Catherine of Siena Parish Corpus Christi Site, 1694 Upper James Street, Hamilton.

I am completely and utterly heartbroken. We shared, what now was our last lunch together last Wednesday. You listened to me like you always have. I can’t remember a day when you weren’t a pain in my ass (tough love, you say) but on the same token, you have seen me through my best and worst for the past 11 years. You said, “We laugh. We cry. We console each other.” This sums up our friendship. I don’t know how to say good bye to you. I’m comforted by the fact that I said thank you every time, that I said you are my best friend and that I love you with all my heart. The same sentiments stand now and always. I will miss you, my dearest best friend.

I was saddened to hear this news; please accept my deepest condolences. Frank was a great guy to work with; honest and knowledgeable. I fondly remember working with him on several Store of the Community projects back when I was with Walmart. Rest in Peace.
