Louis Joseph Longo

March 11, 1936 - December 25, 2024

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Louis Joseph Longo on December 25, 2024, at the age of 88 years. Predeceased by his beloved wife of 46 years, Sally Anne, Louis was a dedicated father to Andrea (Denis), Nancy (Gerry), and Anthony (Jennifer), and a proud “Grandpa Louie” to Emily Rose (Jared), Olivia, and Sophia.

Cherished brother of Theresa Duncan, Susan Cimicata, Yolanda Russo (Felix), Peter Longo, and the late Dolores Longo. Much-loved brother-in-law of the late Robert Dove (Colleen), Paul Dove, and Bradley Dove (Mary Lou). Lou will be greatly missed by many nieces, nephews, extended family, and friends.

Lou enjoyed a long and successful career in the menswear business. He started out at Tip Top Tailors as a young man, where he quickly advanced to management. Lou achieved his dream of owning his own store when he purchased Maxwell’s Men’s Shop, where he worked for over 35 years until his retirement. Lou loved his family and his job and approached all situations with dignity, kindness, compassion, and generosity.

Visitation will take place on Thursday, January 2, 2025, from 4:00 – 8:00 p.m. at Holy Cross Catholic Funeral Home, 211 Langstaff Road East, Thornhill, Ontario, L3T 3Z6. A Funeral Service will be held on Friday, January 3, 2025, at 12:00 p.m. in the Chapel of St. Joseph at Holy Cross Catholic Funeral Home. Entombment will follow at Holy Cross Catholic Cemetery – Holy Family Mausoleum. A reception lunch will take place following the entombment.

The family would like to express their sincere gratitude to all those who helped care for Lou in his last days, including the staff at Nurse Next Door Homecare Services, Mountainview Retirement Residence, Georgetown Hospital, and Carpenter Hospice. Your thoughts and kindness are truly appreciated during this time of sorrow.
