Pietro Paulo Ildo Adamo

Born Torano Castello, Italy July 8, 1931

Died Kamloops, B.C. March 31, 2024

It is with sadness that we announce the passing of our father Pietro Adamo. He is predeceased by his wife of 64 years Lauretta. He is survived by children Maria (Richard), Salvatore (Nina), Silvio (Tina) granddaughter Megan and many nieces and nephews.

Father married our mother in Italy in 1958 and came to Canada in 1960. He worked hard to support his family in their early days in Kamloops. His love of the outdoors and gardening kept him busy, and he loved to share his knowledge with anyone that needed it. When he finally retired from Royal Inland Hospital, he was able to spend his time on his favorite things. You would likely have found him in his garden tending to plants, trees, and his grapevines, or he was at a shooting competition which he excelled at.

We give our heartfelt appreciation to the staff at The Hamlets who treated our father as one of their own, with love, dignity, and respect.

As per our father’s wishes he will be cremated and laid to rest with our mother Lauretta. There will be a small ceremony at the Kamloops Hillside Cemetery Sage Valley Mausoleum to entomb father’s ashes with a blessing from the Sacred Heart Parish on Monday June10th 10:30am and a Celebration of Life luncheon to follow for Pietro and Lauretta at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Parish Hall beginning at 11:30am.
