Obituary

 

It is with heavy hearts that our family announces that Deodoro (Ted) Constancio has passed away peacefully in his sleep last Friday, January 28, 2022, at the age of 88. We will never forget his charm and charisma, and the many coffees at his favourite Caldense bakery. He was a strong advocate for his community at the municipal, provincial, and federal levels. His countless charity efforts have positively affected the lives of many. We will always cherish his kindness and generosity. We will miss most, his unfaltering humour and informed insights. Ted’s love for his homeland never faltered, but he felt most at home here in Canada where he shall lie.

Visitation will take place on Tuesday, February 1, 2022, at

Cardinal Funeral Homes Ltd. 366 Bathurst Street, Toronto, ON M5T 2S6
