Gino Rovazzi
Passed away on October 21, 2024
Surrounded by his family, Gino Rovazzi passed away peacefully on October 21, 2024. Gino leaves behind his beloved wife of 73 years, Giulia, his daughter-in-law, Rosemarie, and his cherished granddaughters, Liana and Alysia (Pasquale), along with great-grandsons Leonardo, Alessandro, Matteo, and Gianluca. He was predeceased by his son, Robert (2024).
Gino was known for his incredible work ethic and his generous spirit. He enjoyed helping family, repairing items, and tending to his garden. Fiercely independent, Gino continued to operate his own business into his 70s, farmed well into his 80s, and drove into his 90s. His dedication and strength were a constant source of inspiration for his family, and he will be deeply missed.
Visitation will be held at Bernardo Funeral Home (2960 Dufferin St., south of Lawrence Ave. W.) on Thursday, October 24, from 3–5 p.m. and 6–8 p.m. The funeral service will be conducted at St. Bernard de Clairvaux Parish on Friday, October 25, 2024, at 10 a.m., with entombment to follow at Westminster Mausoleum. A reception will be held afterward to celebrate Gino’s life.
