Di FONZO, Francesco - (February 10, 1927 – September 23, 2021)
After several weeks in hospital, Francesco passed away peacefully spending his last days in Hill House Hospice.
He is survived by his children; Tom (Margherita), Carlo (Amy), Joe (Rachel); his grandchildren Daniel, Thomas (Jacqueline), Joseph (Stephanie), Stephen (Paola), David, Matthew and Patrick; great grandchildren; Mila, James, Gabrielle and Liliana. He is survived by his siblings, Onorina and Antonio (Anna Maria).
He is gone to rest with his devoted wife, Antonia, his parents, Guiseppe and Erminia, his son, Guiseppe and his brothers, Amilcare and Americo.
He will be remembered as a faithful provider and protector who took great pride in his family. Always hard working outside and in the home, a man of few wants, he especially enjoyed tilling his vegetable garden.
The family would like to thank the staff at Mackenzie Health Centre for looking after him in his final weeks and especially the staff at Hill House whose care in his final days and hours was most tender and compassionate. His death was peaceful and dignified, surrounded by his family.
Arrangements are entrusted with Kane-Jerrett Funeral Homes, Thornhill.
In lieu of flowers, contributions in Francesco's memory may be made to Hill House Hospice, 36 Wright Street , Richmond Hill , Ontario L4C 4A1 CA, https://hillhousehospice.com/.
