elevated x2wnD Obituary 

elevated x2wnD With heavy hearts, we share the passing of our father, grandfather, and husband Angelo Di Vincenzo, who passed away on September 30, 2026, at the age of 92.

elevated x2wnD Angelo was born on February 24, 1934, in Castropignano, Italy, a small town that was always a part of who he was. He immigrated to Canada in 1957, but no matter how many years passed, Italy and especially Castropignano remained home in his heart. His family in Italy remained very important to him and will miss him dearly.

elevated x2wnD Angelo’s life in Canada was built through hard work, determination, and love of family. He worked as a member of the Drywallers and Labourers Union in Toronto, taking tremendous pride in his work and in doing things well. Anyone who knew Angelo knew that pride didn’t disappear when he retired, simply found new places to go. His home was cared for meticulously, and his garden was always a source of particular pride.

elevated x2wnD But as much as Angelo loved his garden, cooking, his home, and a job well done, nothing came close to the love he had for his family.

elevated x2wnD Angelo was predeceased by his beloved wife, Angela Di Vincenzo (née Sardella), the mother of their six sons. Together, they created the family that would become the centre of Angelo’s world.

elevated x2wnD Later in life, Angelo was blessed to find love and companionship again with Pauline Di Vincenzo (née Borg), his wife and companion until his passing.

elevated x2wnD He was an incredibly proud father to his six sons: Giovanni (Suzanne), Tony, Peter (Sue), Mike (Michelle), Nick (Tara), and Frank (Dana).

elevated x2wnD As his sons grew and started families of their own, Angelo’s family—and his heart—only became fuller. He was a proud grandfather to Lucas, Taylor, Olivia, Emily, Judy, Dean, Daniel, Guiseppe, Isabella, Gabriella, Savanah, and Niklas, and proud great-grandfather to Viviana.

elevated x2wnD Family gatherings were where Angelo was happiest. He loved having people around him. He loved to cook and share food, to talk, to laugh, and simply to be together. You rarely had to wonder whether Angelo was enjoying himself because his face usually told you.

elevated x2wnD If there is one thing people remember about Angelo, it is his smile.

elevated x2wnD And then there was his garden.

elevated x2wnD For Angelo, gardening was much more than a hobby. It was part of the rhythm of his life. He loved planting, tending, growing, and watching something flourish because he had cared for it. His garden at his Toronto home was a tremendous source of pride, and anyone who visited knew just how much time and love he put into it.

elevated x2wnD One of the most meaningful parts of Angelo’s final months came in an unexpected place. During his last six months at Cardinal Place Retirement Home in Windsor, he was cared for with kindness by staff who came to know him and understood how important it was for him to continue being himself.

elevated x2wnD They even gave Angelo a place to garden in the courtyard—and, of course, he made it his own. He tended it with the same care and pride he had given his garden at home in Toronto. It gave him something familiar to nurture and something that was unmistakably his.

elevated x2wnD To the staff at Cardinal who cared for Angelo, shared smiles and conversations with him, and gave him the chance to put his hands back into the soil—thank you. Your kindness meant more to him, and to our family, than you may ever know.

elevated x2wnD When we think about Angelo’s 92 years, we will remember many things. We will remember a man who came to Canada as a young man and worked hard to build a life. A man who never forgot where he came from. A man who took pride in his work, his home, and anything he put his hands to.

elevated x2wnD We will remember his cooking and his garden. We will remember the stories and conversations. We will remember his trips back to Italy and his love for Castropignano.

elevated x2wnD Most of all, we will remember Pa and Nonno.

elevated x2wnD We will remember how proud he was of his six sons and the families they created. We will remember how much it meant to him to have his children and grandchildren around him. We will remember the way his face lit up when he saw the people he loved.

elevated x2wnD And we will remember that smile.

elevated x2wnD Angelo spent a lifetime planting and nurturing things—gardens, friendships, traditions, and, most importantly, a family. Those are the things he leaves behind. His garden will continue in the hands of others, his stories will continue to be told, his traditions will be carried forward, and his love will remain in the generations that follow him.

elevated x2wnD We love you, Pa. We love you, Nonno. Rest peacefully. You will always be with us.

elevated x2wnD If you so desire, donations to the Canadian Mental Health Association or to a charity of your choice would be appreciated by the family.
