DeLUCA, Marco - In the early hours of January 30, 2018, Marco passed away peacefully in the home he loved, at the 'farm' he proudly nurtured with his loving wife Vera, married 66 years.
Marco faced each day with a zest for life and a drive to achieve not only a good life for his adoring family but to create opportunity for us and others.
The tragic loss of his son and "best friend" Vince almost crushed Marco's spirit but he found a strength within to persevere. Marco leaves his devoted Vera; his loving children Josie (Gino), Geri (Dean) and Iva (the late Vince); his nine adoring grandchildren: Lauren, Carlo (Alexis), Alexandra, Danielle, Marc, Victoria, Natasha, Olivia and Elizabeth; and the wee great grandchildren he doted on: Jack Vincent and Penelope Jo.
Marco will be deeply missed by his siblings: Giuseppe (Giuseppina), Luciano (Pamela) and Adriana (Nello) and sisters-in-law Caterina (the late Giacinto) and Josie (the late brother in law Bruno).
Special thanks are extended to Dr. Osvaldo Papini and nurse practitioner Jonathan Garcia.
Visitation will take place at Vescio Funeral Home, (8101 Weston Road,) on Sunday, February 4, 2018 from 12-6 p.m. The Funeral Mass will be celebrated on Monday, February 5, 2018 at 9:30 a.m. at St. Clare of Assisi Roman Catholic Church (150 St. Francis Ave., north of Rutherford Road). Burial to follow.
If so desired, donations in memory of Marco may be made to the Canadian Blood Services (www.blood.ca) or the Canadian Cancer Society (www.cancer.ca).
