Antonio Norcia

Antonio Norcia, a beacon of love and generosity, departed this world on May 10, 2025, leaving a legacy woven with cherished memories and profound affection. Born on September 5, 1931, Antonio lived a life that radiated warmth and kindness, deeply enriched by his unwavering faith and spiritual devotion.

He was a loving husband to Romilda for 68 years, whose companionship filled their years with laughter and tenderness. Together, they created a nurturing home for their children, Jack (Frances) and Larry, grounding their family in the values of love, respect, and the joy of togetherness. Antonio’s role as a father extended beyond mere guidance; he inspired critical life lessons through strength and unwavering support.

As a Nonno, Antonio’s heart swelled with pride when he spent time with his grandchildren, Stefano (Gianluca), Chris (Tianna), Angelo (Desiree), Anthony (Adrianna), and Michael (Erica). His legacy continues through them and into the next generation with his great-grandchildren, Dante, Alaya, Alivia, Francesca, and Sophia, a testament to the love Antonio so freely gave.

Beyond the bonds of family, he was a man of many interests. He found solace and joy in the wild embrace of nature through hunting and the simple yet profound pleasure of tending to his garden. These pastimes served as a personal retreat and allowed him to foster connections with the essence of life around him.

Antonio will be remembered for his caring nature, the gentle way he engaged with those around him, and his ability to bring warmth to every gathering. Whether it was sharing a quiet moment of reflection or engaging in spirited family gatherings, his presence was a source of joy and comfort.

Friends and loved ones are invited to celebrate Antonio's life and legacy at the Westminster Funeral & Reception Centre in Toronto. Visitation will begin on May 14, 2025, from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM and again from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM. A heartfelt funeral service will be held the following day, May 15, 2025, at 10:00 AM, followed by the entombment at the Westminster Cemetery & Mausoleum at 10:45 AM.

As we bid farewell to Antonio Norcia, let us carry forward his spirit of generosity and love, honouring a life beautifully lived in the embrace of family and faith. His light will forever shine brightly in the hearts of those he touched.
