It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Alfredo Galassi on March 20th at the age of 93. He is survived by his daughter Paula Galassi, son-in-law Ian Shaw and grandchildren Alex Shaw, Erin Shaw and Kristina Galassi.
Alfredo was born in Codriopo, Italy and came to Canada in 1955 and worked for most of his career at International Harvester as a welder. He was a proud Italian Canadian who worked hard to provide a life full of opportunity for his family. His fortitude, resilience and strong work ethic guided him throughout his long and active life. In his retirement years, Alfredo found great joy working in his vast garden, caring for his canaries, playing bocce ball at the Chedoke club, being an active member of the Alpini Club and sharing a glass of homemade wine with family and friends. He loved his family and friends deeply and he will be greatly missed.
Visitation will be held on Tuesday, March 26th from 2:00-5:00 pm at Cresmount Funeral Home (322 Fennell Ave. E., Hamilton, 905-387-2111). A funeral Mass will follow on Wednesday, March 27th at 1:00 pm at Sts. Peter and Paul Catholic Church (50 Brucedale Ave.E., Hamilton) with interment to follow at Holy Sepulchre Catholic Cemetery, Burlington, ON.
