elevated kUG2t Obituary
elevated kUG2t After a battle with coronary disease, Tony passed peacefully at the age of 90, in the presence of his loving children and grandchildren. Beloved husband of the late Tina, caring and devoted father to AnnaMarie (Frank), Bill (Mary), David (Kimberley), Melinda (Alvaro). Proud Nonno to Venessa, Natalie (Natascia), Justin, Christopher, Natasha (Ian), Alessia, Bianca (Kei), Anthony, Samantha, Elliot and TinaSofia and Bisnonno to Lucas, Sage, Annabelle and Thomas. Born in Torre de Passeri, Pescara, Tony immigrated to Toronto from Italy alone at the age of 19 and with his entrepreneurial spirit, work ethic, and tenacity, he built a successful career in tile and construction, and was very well respected by his colleagues, business partners and members of the community. Tony gave back in a multitude of ways through business, fundraisers and charitable contributions and will surely be missed for his passionate views on global affairs, politics and history. Cherished by his large and extended family and life-long friends, he will forever be in our hearts.

To the entire Pica Family,
We are so saddened to hear of the passing of Tony. He will be fondly remembered. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Dr. Jack Salvador & Staff
The famous words that come to my mind, is my Mom would always say…”That Tony Pica he’s so handsome, he looks like Dean Martin”.
Whenever I would see Tony Pica, I would see a intellectual, caring, no nonsense type of man.
I felt a somewhat (oh oh we our dead Bill) everytime he would walk into Bill’s shop unexpectedly, and would catch Bill and I tinkering with the snowmobiles or washing our cars, he would say in his Abruzzi dialect, here are the two “Umbrella Heads”. He was so much like my Dad.
I will miss his smile, his one-liners, I will miss his everything,
May you rest in peace Tony, and give laughs to all your family and friends in the heavens.

We always enjoyed listening and being challenged by Tony about virtually any topic. His opinions were forceful and the discussions were always educational and mind probing. I am sure he is now entering discussions with my father in law/father on the world left behind and looking forward to seeing Tina.

To Bill and the entire Pica family.
My sincere condolences.
It was a pleasure knowing Tony. We had great conversations about our similar ideologies on religion and shared a few shots of Hennessy.
The first time I went to visit Tony at the hospice for his monthly grooming. He apologized for not having a drink for us to share.
He also talked about Bill being too old for toys.
I will miss our monthly visits and conversations.
May you rest in peace Tony.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. May he rest in peace.
Bill and Family,
May the memories of your Dad give you peace and comfort. Our sincere condolences to you and your family.
