With his loving wife by his side, Luigi was called by God on December 24, 2022 at the age of 84. Beloved and cherished husband to Michelina (Lina), loving father to Frank and beloved late son Steven. Survived by his loving and cherished grandchildren Lucas and Jacob and daughter-in-law Filomena.
Luigi was born in Mendicino, Italy on April 21, 1938, one of 2 children, to Francesco and Assunta, and brother to Rosina. He arrived at Pier 21 in Halifax in 1954, quickly settled in Toronto, and immediately began working in the building trades to eventually hone his workmanship and precision into a career as a Master Painter. It was in Toronto where he eventually met the love of his life and married Michilina in 1963. They were inseparable ever since, forming a true partnership and lifelong bond based on love and respect.
Luigi is remembered as an immensely warm, kind, gentle, caring, compassionate, hard-working, selfless man, a wonderful husband and incredible father and nonno. Known for ALWAYS putting others ahead of himself, he sacrificed for his family. He will be celebrated for profoundly touching the lives of all those that were blessed to have known him - a truly Good Man.
