Peacefully, on July 2, 2020 at the age of 85, while surrounded by his loving family. Francesco endured until he said goodbye to all his people. Dear husband of Giuseppa for 53 years. Loving father of Francesca Lucia and Jan d’Ailly, Caterina Tarantola and husband Joe, and Giuseppe Lucia. Cherished Nonno of Serina, Justin, Nico, Nathan and Maro.
Francesco emigrated to Canada in 1966, and worked as a Finished Carpenter until he retired in 1999. Although Francesco battled with dementia, he enjoyed dancing in the living room with “my people” and now he is dancing to the “music from the North”.
Special thanks to W.R.H.-Ouellette Campus 7th floor for all of their care and compassion.
If you so desire, donations to Alzheimer’s Society Windsor & Essex County or Windsor & Essex County Cancer Centre Foundation would be appreciated by the family.
A private family service was held and entombment has taken place at Heavenly Rest Cemetery. Arrangements entrusted to Families First, South Windsor, 3260 Dougall Avenue (519-969-5841).
