GROSSI, Antonio - Age 84, passed away on March 18, 2021 at home where he always wanted to be, after a brave battle with prostate cancer.
Tony was larger than life and his family and friends miss him so dearly.
We take comfort knowing he’s now reunited with his daughter Olimpia, his son-in-law Bradley, his parents Domenico and Olimpia, and his uncles and aunts whom he adored.
There must have been one hell of a welcoming party, with Tony, no doubt, holding court, retelling stories about the good old days, filling everyone with wine, laughter and Italian dance songs he played on his accordion with uncle Paul on guitar.
Despite coming to Canada as an immigrant from Italy with barely a dollar nor an English word, Tony built a successful life driven by his passions. A life we are all so proud of.
He was affectionately referred to as “dada.” And he accomplished all of it with the love of his life, Maria, by his side.
Tony leaves his wife Maria, his children Fiorella and Domenic, his granddaughters Cassandra and Julia, for whom he was like a second father, and his brothers, Vittorio and Joe, and their families.
Family and friends are welcome to registerer for the visitation and funeral mass directly with the immediate family. Visitation at the DeMarco Funeral Home, Toronto on Thursday March 25th. Funeral Mass to take place at St Clare's Catholic Church, 1118 St. Clair Avenue West at 11am. Entombment to follow.
