Born in Sora, Italy, Donato immigrated to Canada at the age of 25 with his wife Maria. He retired as a Master Supervisor from Sklar Pepplar Furniture Company and was a longstanding member of the Oshawa Italian Club. Donato enjoyed playing bocce, cards, fishing, watching soccer and hockey, and tending to his outstanding vegetable garden. He will be fondly remembered for his passion for homemade food and his famous "Dad's wine," his warm smile, and for spending as much time as he could with family, friends, and step-grandchildren. He will be greatly missed by his nieces and nephews.
