Giuseppe “Pino” Casamassima
elevated opEPX Loving husband and father, Giuseppe was born in Bari, Italy, to Concetta Cirillo and Matteo Casamassima, and was raised in Toritto, Puglia. He immigrated to Canada in 1974, where he met the love of his life, Sandra. They married in 1977 and together raised their two sons, Gianni and Alex.
elevated opEPX Giuseppe was a deeply loyal and hardworking man with an inquisitive mind, a love of learning, and a great sense of humour. A man of few words, he shared a particularly close bond with Sandra. Through the years they supported one another as partners and best friends, and she was the person with whom he could most openly share himself.
elevated opEPX Giuseppe spent his working life in precast construction and carried his skill for building into his personal life. Carpentry and building were among his favourite pastimes, and he took great satisfaction in working with his hands and creating things himself.
elevated opEPX As a father, he set high standards for Gianni and Alex and, above all, led by example through his work ethic, determination, loyalty, and devotion to his family.
elevated opEPX Giuseppe made Woodbridge, Ontario his home for many years. He will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by Sandra, Gianni, Alex, and all those who knew him.
My condolences to the Casamassima family. May your dad rest easy fly high and free from pain. May his memory give you all the strength to get through this tough time . Gonna miss seeing him walk Disel through the neibourhood. Rest in Paradise.
Condolences to the Family from the Guido Family
May your dad rest in peace. Our condolences to the family.
My deepest condolences to you and your family, may your dad be your guiding light during this difficult time. May he rest in eternal peace.
Ho avuto la fortuna di rincontrarlo l’anno scorso e di potergli presentare la mia famiglia. Nonostante la salute ormai fragile, è riuscito a farci sentire accolti e a trasmetterci tutto il suo affetto, il suo grande spirito e quella forza d’animo che lo ha sempre contraddistinto.
Pensare che oggi non sia più fisicamente accanto ai suoi cari ci rattrista profondamente. Ci stringiamo a loro nel suo ricordo, con la certezza che resterà nei nostri cuori finché vivremo. E ci piace pensare che, da lassù, continuerà a vegliare su Sandra, Gianni e Alex e su tutti coloro che ha amato.

I was fortunate enough to see him again last year and to introduce him to my family. Despite his fragile health, he still managed to make us feel so welcome and to share with us his warmth and affection, his wonderful spirit and the strength of character that had always been such a part of him.
It is deeply saddening to think that he is no longer physically beside his loved ones. Our hearts go out to them as we remember him, knowing that he will remain in our hearts for as long as we live. And we like to believe that, from above, he will continue to watch over Sandra, Gianni and Alex and all those he loved.
Il 17.6.2026 Alex ci scriveva che Pino si stava rinforzando, andava in giro con il suo scooter e progettava e realizzava la terrazza del giardino e che era felice di restare occupato. Noi eravamo felici di saperlo impegnato a realizzare i suoi progetti pieni di fantasia nel suo laboratorio super attrezzato. Quando siamo stati a trovarlo a Toronto, stava costruendo anche dei giocattoli. Dopo il suo matrimonio con Sandra è tornato in visita in Italia e ci ha accolti a Toritto con la sua allegra generosità.
Lo abbiamo rivisto nei video con piacere in compagnia dei suoi familiari. Gianni ci ha mostrato il suo ultimo periodo fatto di lavoro intenso. Ci uniamo ad Eletta nel ricordo di lui e lo immaginiamo ancora che passeggia sotto lo sguardo attento dei suoi cari e del suo cane fedele.
Our sincerest condolences to the family. May he rest peacefully by our Lords side.
