Obituary

Lorenzo Ernesto Annio Mariconda- With heartbreaking sadness, Lorenzo passed away peacefully surrounded by the love of his family on January 25, 2018. Beloved husband of Mariannina. Loving father of Irene, Filomena (Manny), Giuseppe, Amalia and Eduardo. Dear grandfather of Nina-Marie, Nathan, Rose-Lee, Ashleigh, Stefani-Jo and Lorenzo-Taylor. Grand-grandfather of Edin Joseph. Lorenzo was born in Rivottoli di Serino on November 15th, 1926. At a very young age, he learned the art of shoemaking, but it was the love of opera music that encouraged him to learn to play the trombone. He found joy in preforming and became part of a band that played around Italy for many years. In 1953, he wed the love of his life, Mariannina. A year later, they moved to Canada and started a new life together which had them sharing more than 65 years of loving memories. He was passionate about his work during his 29 years at George Brown College. During his retirement, he took great pride in serving Masses As Eucharistic Minister for St. Francis of Assisi and St. Mary's Church. Lorenzo was a pillar of strength for us all. He paved the way for many while never losing sight for of the importance of family, wine and a good laugh. He had a smile and a story for all he knew. When not running errands, he could often be found taking delight in reading his books or taking a nap. He was a husband, dad, Nonno, Bisnonno, and brother. Lorenzo will be deeply missed by everyone including his many nieces, nephews, relatives, neighbours and friends. Friends may call at the Cardinal Funeral Home, 366 Bathurst Street (North of Dundas), on Sunday, January 28th and Monday, January 29th from 2-4 and 6-9 p.m. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held on Tuesday, January 30th at 9:45 a.m. in St. Mary's Roman Catholic Church (566 Adelaide Street West). Entombment to follow at Prospect Cemetery. In Lieu of flowers, donations made to a charity of choice would be appreciated by his family. He loved all and he was loved by all. Rest in peace, until we meet again.

Always thinking about you, nonno!! I wish you got the chance to meet Novè, (he is 100% ALL YOU, ALL MARICONDA!!). I showed him a picture of you when he was very young, and even though he never met you, his reply was, "it's nonno". That's how I know you picked Novè for me, for us. We miss you like crazy. It doesn't get easier, it just feels a little different each time. Love you, miss you, and see you on the other side with some lentil pasta, wine and brio, topped off with blueberry pie!

Dear Filomena I just heard about your father's passing and I am so sorry to hear this. I remember the time your dad came to my mother's house with you and Manny and Adriana in 2012 and found him to be such a sweet and entertaining soul who livened up the place. I can see how he will be missed. Our thoughts are with your entire family and extended family during this difficult time.

Dear: Fil, Joe, Em, Ed: With the death of our beloved Father, we are somewhat orphaned. We expected to have Daddy here for a much longer period of earthly time, but not so, how sad and heartbreaking. We all had our own relationship with Daddy, and for this, I hope you are all, as grateful as I am for this amazing man and what we each shared with Daddy. Dad will always be with me in ways that I cannot share. I pray that Mum will take each day and remember her special bond with her Partner In Life!! Bless each one of you, and especially Mum!! My feeling is Dad is with all who went ahead but more so with Joel, sharing stories of their shared love of History of Wars, may Daddy rest, and then hope he is kicking up his heels, as only Dad knew how, this is my vision for my Dad!!! Gently go on in life but make each day a memorable one!! My love to one and all of you!! Mum, I love you!! This I felt was the best way of reaching each of you!! Always, with love, Irene E!!

My deepest prayers and condolences to you and your family in this difficult and painful time. Revelation 21: 4 "God will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning, nor crying, nor pain be anymore.” Psalm 34:18 "Jehovah is near the brokenhearted" Throw your anxieties on Jehovah through prayer, he is close to the brokenhearted.
