To my sister Marianne and family. It was a dark day when you told us that Louie passed away. We thought for sure he would pull through. No more calling him “Gino” even though that wasn’t his name and laughing at the silliest things. He loved his grandchildren with all his heart and had a great big heart for mom, dad and Vince. He’s at peace now and catching up with them in Heaven.. R.I.P. Luigi “Louie”
🙏Mikki Apreda

My deepest condolences to Marianne, Joe, Carmela, Michael and family. Although I was only able to meet with Luigi once during the past summer we had a long conversation. He talked about his beloved in-laws and how he treasured the love, life and family Marianne and he built over the last almost half a century that they were together. May the warm memories of your long, loving life together comfort you during the days ahead.
My deepest condolences on the loss of your father, Carmela. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time.

I worked with Luigi at CP. Rail. I was his apprentice and enjoyed every minute of it. I learned so much, from learning how to repair locomotives to making spaghetti on the BBQ and zabaione. Since he retired I miss the conversations we used to have and the expresso along with it!
He was caring and funny, guaranteed to put a smile on your face. I always looked forward to working along side him whatever the work day would bring.
He was a great friend and miss him dearly.
We lived across from Luigi and Marianne on Adrian Crescent in Markham. Our kids played street hockey with Michael, Joey, and Kelly.
Luigi always had a smile and friendly wave for us and kept us laughing at our street parties and dinners. He could still wear the suit he was married in, and sometimes did. My condolences to Marianne and the Castaldi family.
Thank you for reaching out and offering your condolences. Losing my husband has been incredibly painful, but knowing that others care and are holding us in their thoughts brings comfort. Your support and kindness will not be forgotten.
