Born in Montalto Uffugo, Italy, Francesco immigrated to Toronto in 1959 where he soon after opened up Sport Barbershop in Little Italy (655 College St.). Even after his retirement in 1987, he continued to cut hair out of his home to a small group of loyal customers up until the very end. He will be fondly remembered for his charm, sense of humour and the sheer pleasure that he enjoyed while in the company of his grandchildren. Friends will be received at the JERRETT FUNERAL HOME (1141 St. Clair Ave. W) Toronto, on Thursday from 2-4pm and 7-9pm. A Funeral Mass will be celebrated at St. Clare’s Roman Catholic Church(1118 St. Clair Ave W. ) Toronto, on Friday, March 19, 2010 at 11:00am. Interment to follow at Prospect Cemetery.
