Loving husband to Antonia Vitalone for 65 years, cherished father to Fortunato (predeceased), Joe (Connie) and Vince (Domenica). Adored nonno to Robert, Jonathan, Christina and Anna(Charlie) and great granddaughter, Autumn.

Giovanni was born in Sinopoli, Reggio Calabria, Italy on May 14, 1938. He immigrated to Canada in 1959 along with his wife Antonia. He spent over 35 years working for Liuna Local 183 as a labourer.

He took pride in his garden every year and grew everything from beans to tomatoes and even his own beloved fig tree.

Even as his health and memory deteriorated, he enjoyed spending time with his family and friends.
