elevated 4maMT Obituary

elevated 4maMT Benny was born in the city of Cervaro, Italy. He lived and worked in France for a little while and then came to Canada in 1966 to marry his beautiful wife Filomena. He fathered 3 wonderful children; Claudia, Diana and Guiliano. Benny was a very hard working, respectful and gentle man. He was a true man that took care of his family. He was, among many things, a great tile setter. He has touched the homes of most, if not all, of his friends and family. Every time you look at the tiles in your home, the memory of Benny will always come back to you. A small smile will come to your face and a warm feeling will come over your body.

elevated 4maMT Benny is survived by his wife Filomena, his children Claudia and her husband David, Diana and her husband Marcello, Guiliano and his wife Coral, and all his grandchildren; Amadeus, Alessio, Andreas, Jessica, Marcus, Luca and Aidan. He had a tremendous love for his mother Caterina and carried her picture on his person at all times. 

elevated 4maMT Benny loved and cherished all his family members in Italy, France and around the world wholeheartedly. Benny was truly one of a kind. A beautiful man that worked tirelessly from a young age of 13 to make his dreams come true. His paradise was his family and home and he took care of them with intense devotion. His simple and common sense approach to life has rubbed off on everyone that surrounded him.

Benny, you will be greatly missed.
