GIACOMO ANTHONY CORBACIO BASc, P.Eng. (1956-2017) - With dignity and much grace from God, Giacomo Corbacio peacefully entered into eternal life on Friday, August 18th 2017 surrounded by his loving family - wife Cathy, children Michael, Catharine, John and David, sister Mary Ager, brother-in-law Mike and nephew Adam.
Giacomo is survived by his parents, Michele and Concetta Corbacio, brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law, Joan and Walter Zamora, Ken and Connie Morley, Frank and Helen Morley, Paul and Christine Morley, many aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews.
He is predeceased by his grandparents Eugenio and Feltra Voce, great aunt Elisabetta Voce, aunt Lidia and uncle Domenico Giangregorio, aunt Antoinette Cazzorla, aunt Porzia Dragone, uncle Dino Corbacio and his in-laws John and Catharine Morley.
In addition to his love and faith-filled devotion to his family, Giacomo went about his life’s work with much foresight, integrity and humility. Upon graduation in 1980 from the University of Waterloo with a degree in Civil Engineering, Giacomo worked at Dofasco as a project engineer. In March 1990 he brought his skill set to the Halton Catholic District School Board where he has served the Halton community for the past 27 years. As Superintendent of Facilities Management Services, Giacomo was regarded as a highly respected visionary leader within the Halton school district and across the province, serving with distinction on provincial committees and Ministry of Education expert panels. In July 2016, The Ontario Association of School Board Officials recognized Giacomo as the 2016 recipient of the Wm. J. Wales Award for his outstanding contribution in the area of school operations, maintenance and construction. In April 2017, Giacomo was awarded the Ontario Catholic Supervisory Officers’ Association 2017 Distinguished Leadership Award for outstanding ability and leadership in Catholic Education at both the provincial and district school board levels. His knowledge, guidance and humour will be missed by many.
