SPADAFORA, Francesco (Ippolito)

Peacefully on Tuesday, October 16, 2102 at the age of 84. Beloved husband of the late Stella (nee Canaris), who has been patiently waiting for him in Heaven.  Loving, and devoted father of Theresa Ferrari (David), Tony (Veronica), and Carmine. Cherished Nonno of Adriana, Michael, David, Julia, Matthew and Jonathon. Loving brother of Gennaro (Carmellina) of Timmins and Michele (Rossetta) of Italy.   Predeceased by his siblings Rosario, Natale, Angelina, and Assunta.   Francesco will be fondly remembered by his many nieces and nephews. Francesco’s loyalty and devotion to his family was second to none. His words of wisdom will be forever missed.  Dad’s zeal for life, his strong presence, his wonderful sense of humour and his powerful voice will be remembered in our hearts. He would not want us to mourn him for long, but to be strong and to live life to the fullest as he has. Thank you dad, for the wonderful memories.  Friends may call at the Arthur Funeral Home & Cremation Centre on Friday, October 19, 2012 from 6 – 9 pm.  Funeral service from the chapel on Saturday, October 20, 2012 at 9 am.
