In Celebration of

Joseph Fazzari

May 16, 1933 -  October 16, 2020

It is with great sadness and
love that we announce the
passing of Joe (Joseph)
Fazzari at the age of 87 who
after living with Leukemia for
many years suddenly took ill
and passed quickly. He was
larger than life and deserved
to be here longer to enjoy it
even more. Proud and loving
brother, father, grandfather,
uncle and friend, Joe was a
strong and caring head of the
family whose absence will be
profoundly felt. He is
predeceased by his parents
Luigi Michelangelo and Maria
Annunziata (Varone) Fazzari
and his wife Marilyn (Kemp)
Fazzari, his brother Anthony
(Tony) Fazzari, and brother-inlaw
Battista Nardini. He leaves
behind, his 4 children, Lisa
(James) Davi (California), Kay
(Shane) Mackay (Smithville),
Joe (Charlene) Fazzari
(Hamilton), and Sonny
(Sabrina) Fazzari (Stoney
Creek), his 2 sisters, Catherine
Fazzari Salvi (Hamilton), Stella
(Battista) Nardini (Hamilton),
his sister-in-law Muriel (Tony)
Fazzari, his 8 grandchildren,
Santino D., Garrett and Sarina,
Maya and Xavier, Nicholas,
Santino F. and Alivia, many
nieces and nephews who
adored Uncle Joe, and his 13
fig trees, 1 pomegranate tree,
2 lemon trees ...... At his
request, a private family
service took place on Tuesday
October 20, 2020 at Holy
Sepulchre Cemetery where he
is laid to rest. Joe will be
sorrowfully missed and never
forgotten by his entire family.
In his honour donations may
be made to the Juravinski

Many years ago, I met Joe (Giuseppe) on a trip to Italy. He was our unofficial chaperone for a group of students that included my son Rocco and his son Joe. I loved every minute of his company and sense of humour. We shared many funny stories. He was most interested in learning about the the many cities and historical sites that we visited right across Italy. It was a pleasure to share the daily meals that Italian cuisine had to offer. Joe was a quiet, purposeful and sensitive person who loved his family very much. He took pride in his children's many accomplishments. In later life he loved his garden and took particular pride in his "Fig trees". They thrived under his expertise. Joe thanks for your friendship and many memorable moments. R.I.P. my Calabrian friend. From Angelo and Joanne Di Ianni
