elevated 5P2Uc Antonio Auciello
elevated 5P2Uc February 16,1937 – December 3, 2020
elevated 5P2Uc It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of an iconic man, leader, and patriarch, Antonio Auciello. He is survived by his beloved wife of 61 years, Rose, his children Mina (John), Desi (Randi), Cathy (Sal), his grandchildren Daniella (Christian), Lauren, Christopher, Amanda, Brittany, and Luke, and his great-grandchildren, James and Liam.
elevated 5P2Uc Antonio was a true gentleman. He charmed everyone he met with his zest for life, winning smile, signature grey curls, and ebullient sense of humour. Tony radiated warmth, kindness and generosity, always approaching others with an open heart and an open hand. He was a visionary who believed most ardently in the axiom that any dream —however lofty or seemingly out of reach— could be turned into a reality. It was this core, driving tenet that motivated him to leave his Italian hometown, Anzano di Puglia, for Toronto at age 16. Tony’s integrity, tenacity, and desire to control his own destiny quickly catapulted him from an immigrant barber to an owner of successful hair salons, and later in life, to a builder and developer of master-planned communities in the Greater Toronto Area. He was an inspiration; a trailblazer who used his remarkable strength to transform every one of life’s obstacles into opportunity. Tony’s story is proof that, with enough heart, faith, and determination, the impossible can become possible. The positive impact he made on so many people’s lives is a true testament to his extraordinary character and will be remembered as his real legacy.
elevated 5P2Uc For all his many incredible accomplishments, when asked what his greatest achievement was, he would always say his family. Tony’s love for his wife, Rose, was the guiding light in his life. His desire to protect and provide for those he loved was the fuel to his ever-burning fire.
elevated 5P2Uc He will be deeply missed but will live on forever in the hearts of all who had the privilege to know him.
elevated 5P2Uc In lieu of flowers, we ask that you make a donation to the Heart and Stroke Foundation or to the Arthritis Society.

I am very saddened to hear about the passing of my dear friend Tony. Tony was such a great inspiration and visionary. He was the consummate gentlemen who brought passion and humility to all things in his personal and business life. He was also a generous philanthropist, a great friend and supporter to Hesperus Village. It was a pleasure to have known and worked with Tony, but more than all else it was a pleasure to have known him as a friend. He will be missed, but never forgotten. Our thoughts and prayers will be with the Auciello family. My wife and I, and everyone from Hesperus Village send our deepest condolences.

I am so sorry, I offer my deepest condolences.
Tony was a very special man and I can say that he was truly an angel on earth.
I have known Tony since 1984 when I was an plumbing apprentice, and worked on one of the first few houses that he built. Like him, I also emigrated from Italy at a young age and we have been good friends since then. I will miss him very much.
May he rest in eternal peace.
Dear Cousins, Rose, Mina, Desi and Cathy and their Families,

To Rosangela , my loving cousin, I miss you and may you find comfort in knowing we all grieve with you and ask God to give you strength and Peace.
We were really saddened to hear of Anthony’s passing. We have great memories travelling with Tony & Rose on Home Builders trips to Italy etc., and my discussion with him at our Group 905 Luncheons. He oozed warmth and friendliness. He was a class act and will be fondly remembered.
Dearest Auciello family,

Mina, Desi, Cathy, and your beloved mother Rose. I just came across Tony’s obituary, I wish I had k own earlier so that I could have offered my sincerest condolences then. I will never forget Tony, nor the family – working at Cachet was a time of great personal growth for me and I learned so much ! I will never forget the kindness of your father, his overwhelming dedication, determination and drive! And I’ll never forget that beautiful warm smile – I’m certain he is and will be greatly missed by all the people who were blessed to know him !
Please accept our deepest condolences, may God continue to console you in your grief and may fond memories of Tony, sustain you!
I wish I had known earlier, I so loved this man, worked for him 40 yrs ago at his hair shop, being 16 he would talk and teach me about life, such a kind man, my deepest condolences, to Rose and the family ,
