Obituary

It is with heavy hearts and great sadness that we announce the passing of Vito Vetro on Tuesday, August 20th 2024 in Toronto, at the age of 82. Born in the town of Vallelonga, Calabria Vito is survived by his loving wife Rosa of 53 years, their cherished children Domenic, Rita (Roberto) and Lucy and beloved grandchildren Matteo and Michela. Vito was known as being hardworking, fun-loving and comical. As a skilled sheetmetal worker, he always provided for his family. He truly enjoyed spending time with his loved ones and was always singing his favourite tunes ranging from Italian classics to 60s hits. Throughout his life, his past time included growing varieties of fig trees in his garden, watching soccer and western or action films, and playing Italian card games in Little Italy, College Street. He will be greatly missed by his loving family and always remembered in their hearts. Donations in his honour can be made to St. Francis of Assisi Parish and the Heart and Stroke Foundation.
