Tony is survived by his wife of 50 years, Elena. His 3 sons; Justin (Danielle), Anthony (Sarah) and James (Teil) as well as his 4 grandchildren: Cate, Beau, Chet and Bianca. By his sister Stella (Tony) Alpino and many cousins, nieces and nephews. Tony was predeceased by his parents, Giustino and Fortunata Cuzzetto, as well as his brother Egidio.
Tony was born in Grimaldi, Cosenza, Italy and came to Canada on Feb 2, 1962 with his mom and sister, to join his dad and brother.
He worked at Balco and then Tolko from 1966 until his retirement in 2006. In his early years Tony was known to enjoy fast cars. He loved to hunt and fish, instilling this passion into his sons and grandsons. There was always talk of where the best hunting grounds were. He also found joy watching hockey games both those of the Boston Bruins and his boys. Tony spent many hours starting his tomatoes & peppers and tending to his garden. Later in life, one could find Tony enjoying classic Western movies, trying his luck at the casino or listening to old time Italian tunes on the computer.
Our family would like to thank the Doctors and Nurses of 7 North at Royal Inland Hospital that cared for Tony in his final days.
Funeral Mass will be held Thursday, Nov 3rd at Sacred Heart Cathedral at 11:00AM: Entombment to follow at Evergreen Mausoleum.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Heart & Stroke Canada or Diabetes Canada.
