After a long and beautiful life of 94 years, the family announce the passing of Giulio on Tuesday, October 1, 2019. Beloved husband of 60 years to Lidia (nee Chiappini). Loving father of Renato (Josephine) and Nada (Danny). Cherished nonno of Andrew (Larissa), Natalie, Julian and Isabelle. Predeceased by his dear siblings Paris (Angela), Gina (Rino), Anna, Antonio (Giovanna) and Piero (Ivana). Will be missed by many nieces, nephews and friends in Canada and Italy. Born in Italy, he came to Canada in 1957 and married his love in 1959. A loyal employee of Dofasco for 32 years, in his retirement he enjoyed travelling and spending time in his vegetable garden nurturing his prize tomatoes, winning the occasional bocce tournament and riding his bicycle everywhere. He recently had the good fortune to attend his grandson Andrew’s wedding where he danced up a storm. A life well lived, he will be missed but never forgotten.
