Frank Romeo

After a long and full life, Frank passed away peacefully on November 7, 2015.

Frank will be lovingly remembered by his three children, Josie Lucidi (Artibano), Joe (Susana), and Cathy, his brother Antonio (Angela), his grandchildren Elena Caligiuri (Chris), Federica Guenther (Kevin), Patty Valdivia (Jeff), and Francesca Grossi (Dan), and his great grandchildren Julia, Isabella, Ava and Shea. He is predeceased by bis parents Giuseppe and Giuseppina (Mauro), beloved wife Giuseppina, infant daughter Immacolatina, siblings Tommaso (Concetta), Maria Scarpino (Bernardo), Carmela Scarpino (Giuseppe), Gaetana Fiorentino (Angelo), and Serafina, as well as his extended family both, here, and abroad.

Frank emigrated from Italy in 1952 and disembarked at Pier 21 in Halifax. He made his way to Drumheller, Alberta where he started his 35 years career at C.N.R. He moved to Winnipeg in 1954 where he was reunited with his beloved wife Giuseppina and daughter Josie.

Frank was the true definition of a family man and friend; devoted, caring and loving. He was kind and generous to all who knew him. He had a keen interest in politics, the Montreal Canadians, and cherished his many travels across Canada and Mexico.

His steadfast love and care for his daughter Cathy at the St. Amant Centre will always be remembered. His exceptional strength and dedicated commitment to the caring of Cathy for over 50 years will be an inspiration to his family and friends for generations.

The family would like to express their deepest gratitude for the outpour of love and support in his final days.

Pallbearers will be the joy of his life, his grandchildren.
