It is with sadness that we announce that Pietro passed away unexpectedly (after a long battle with Parkinson’s) in Vancouver at the age of 85.
Pietro was born in Molina di Malo, Vicenza, a small countryside town nestled in the scenic foothills of northern Italy, where his siblings still reside.
He was predeceased by his devoted wife, Giuseppina (in 1996); sister Caterina and brother Carlo. He is survived by sisters, Regina and Bertilla, brother Tarcisio; his loving son Roberto, daughter-in-law Elisabeth, grandson Dante; nephew Giancarlo, his wife Myrne and their son Luca; as well as numerous nieces and nephews in Italy and in-laws in Ottawa.
Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 10:00 a.m. on Thursday, February 21, 2019 at Our Lady of Sorrows, 555 Slocan Street, Vancouver, BC.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Villa Carital, 3050 Penticton Street, Vancouver BC V5M 4W2.
“Even when I walk through the darkest valley, I will not be afraid, for you are close beside me. Your rod and your staff protect and comfort me.”
