It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Vincenzo Lauricella, who passed away on January 5 at the age of 68, at the General Hospital in Hamilton.

Vincenzo was a loving husband to Susan and a devoted father to Cristen (Mitchell) and Alessandra (Connor) who were the pride and joy of his life. He was a caring brother to Giuseppina (Vince), Mary, Carmelo, Angelo (Shirley), Rita (Melissa) and Salvina and a beloved son to Calogera (née Cannizzaro). He was predeceased by his father, Salvatore, and his brother Gaetano.

Despite living with illness for over 20 years, Vincenzo fought with remarkable strength, resilience, and grace. He was the strongest person we know, facing every challenge with courage. He is now free from pain and at peace.

Vincenzo will be remembered for his love of music, his joy in singing, and his passion for cooking, always bringing his family together around the table. Above all else, he cherished time spent with his family, creating memories filled with warmth, laughter, and love.

Visitation will be held at Bay Gardens Funeral Home in Hamilton on Friday, January 9th from 3-5 and 7-9 and a funeral mass will follow at All Souls Church on Saturday, January 10th from 11-12. Cremation to follow.

Vincenzo will be deeply missed and forever remembered by all who knew and loved him.
