La MANTIA, Giuseppe - (September 29, 1934 to January 30, 2021)
Passed away peacefully at Sunnybrook Hospital at the age of 86.
Predeceased by his parents Mariano and Maria, and by his sisters Provvidenza, Maria and Concetta.

Giuseppe will also be missed by his many friends here in Canada and in Italy.
Giuseppe was born on September 29, 1934 in Termini Imerese, Sicily, Italy where he followed in the tradition of farming his father’s land. However when his parents and oldest sister, Provvidenza, were deceased he decided to emigrate to Toronto to join his sisters, Maria and Concetta where he worked in their grocery business. He maintained his deep roots to his hometown as a longtime and very active member of the Club Termini.
Giuseppe had a deep devotion to our Blessed Mother and was a longtime fratello of the Confraternita Di Maria S.S. Immacolata di Toronto. He was always deeply connected to his church community, from St. Anthony’s in Toronto, later St. Catherine of Siena in Mississauga and finally at St. Margaret Mary Church in Woodbridge, where he was a longtime active member and minister of communion.
