Ercolino Cesario

He leaves behind to mourn their loss his beloved wife of 52 years Franca; sister Ines from Winnipeg and children Maria (Rich) and Amedeo (Dawn); brother Aldo (Lorraine) and children Phillip, Lucy & Emily; brother Ugo from Vernon (Linda) and daughter Deanna; brother Fausto (Carmelina) and children Viviana (Mark), Franco and Mirella from Winnipeg; sister Carmelina from Italy and children Enzo, Sergio and Loredana; sister-in-law Olga from Kamloops (Camillo) and children Adela, Adam, Rob (Airesse); brother-in-law Tony (Dawn) and children Brea and Delaine; sister-in-law Josie (Joe) and children Tanya (Eduardo) and Aldo; sister-in-law Daniela and children Marco and Sienna. As well as many great nieces and nephews.

He started work as a fireman in Italy then moved to Germany and worked in a paper warehouse. In 1966 he moved to Winnipeg where he met Franca and married her in 1968. He was a well-known butcher in Winnipeg. Then in 1980 he moved to Kamloops as his final residence where he worked for a construction company until he retired. Ercolino was an avid member of the Colombo lodge where he was in charge of phoning the kids in to work. All the servers knew him for his jokes and humour. Ercolino had a love for fishing, camping, RVing and cooking. One of his favourite spots was Lac Le Jeune. He enjoyed entertaining with many family and friends and sharing his love for food. His nieces and nephews will always remember him being Santa Claus and handing out gifts. Due to Covid, a private service will be held to place Ercolino to rest at Hillside cemetery.

You will forever be in our hearts.
