Passed away peacefully in the early morning of Wednesday, September 29, 2021, at Lakeridge Health Bowmanville, at the age of 95, surrounded by his loving family.

His life journey began on December 18, 1925 in San Marco, Argentano (Italy).

He was a very devoted husband to the late Carmela Piraino for 69 long but beautiful years.

Papa lived for family gatherings surrounded by his most valuable possessions; his family.

He will be forever loved by his family, especially his children, Frank (Lina) Piraino, Ersilia (Vincenzo) Di Cianni, Pat (Tina) Piraino, and Anna Piraino.

Papa had a special place in his heart for his grandchildren and great-grandchildren Maria, Peter (Patricia, Ella, and Mia), Lori-Anne (Elissa and Jessica), Kathy (Dave), Christina (Fabrizio, Briana, and Liam), Angie, Alicia (Antony and Ilaria), and Daniel.

We will be forever grateful for all the life lessons Papa instilled in every one of us.
