I had the pleasure of working with Alfredo at Villa Da Vinci. He often spoke with great pride about his life and his family, sharing many cherished memories of his childhood and loved ones. He will be deeply missed.
Alfredo, thank you for always being the first one at exercise classes, for leading the way onto the dance floor, and for sharing your passion and expertise in gardening. Your enthusiasm and spirit brought joy to so many.
Sending love, strength, and heartfelt condolences to the family during this difficult time.
It is with a heavy heart that I say goodbye to Alfredo.
When I first started working at Villa da Vinci, Alfredo was one of the very first residents to welcome me. From that day on, he was always kind, respectful, and genuinely warm. He had a way of making people feel comfortable and valued, whether it was staff, residents, or the many seniors and families who came through our doors.
I cared about Alfredo dearly, and I feel incredibly grateful to have had the privilege of knowing him. His presence, kindness, and gentle spirit left a lasting impression on so many of us.
Villa da Vinci will never be the same without him, but his memory will continue to live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved him and in the display we proudly showcase in our community.
Rest in peace, Alfredo. You will always hold a special place in my heart.
My deepest condolences to Rose and family. The loss of a parent is truly heartbreaking,
Uncle Alfred
I will never forget your poise and gentleness.
I leave behind a legacy like no other. A patriot loving husband and father and a teacher of wisdom to all that had the pleasure of being around you.
Zio,
I will forever miss our visits and our chats over the phone . I loved listening to all of your stories of your amazing and challenging life. Like my father you were a true inspiration to me.
I will carry with me so many life lessons that I learned from you .
I am sad that you are not with us anymore and you will miss us too but
I know that you are happy to be reunited with so many loved ones. I know that you will always look down over us and continue to love, protect and inspire us.
I love you , Te Amo Sempre, Zio.
To the Cannataro family
Our sincere condolences for the loss of your dear father. He was a gentle soul.
Our father Giuseppe from Dalrymple Drive and your dad were good friends.
They both were in charge of the money collections at Our Lady of Victory. Alfred would pick up my dad every Sunday faithfully.
He would call my dad from time to time to check up on him when your dad went to Villa Da Vinci. The last time we all spoke to Alfred was last summer and he mentioned his health was not 100 percent but he still sounded good.
Rest in Peace
From
Giuseppe and his daughters Rosy and Lucy
Our deep condolences for the passing of Alfredo. He was a very good man and dear relative who had an impact on everyone he knew. We will miss him and may he rest in peace. Apologies for not being able to attend the service in person as we are out of the country. We will be there in spirit.
Rose,
My Deepest Condolences to the entire family. From everything I read he was a person that touched the heart of many people. No one will forget but will live on in the hearts of people who had the pleasure to have known him. May He Rest in Peace for Eternity.
