He is survived by his wife, Nancy, his son, Mario (Julie), and grandson, Nolan, and his daughter, Rita (Sam), and grandsons Sydney and Rocco. He also leaves behind many nieces and nephews in both Canada and Italy, and the many friends and neighbours that were a part of his life during the 65 years he lived in Canada.

    Hello Nancy and Mario. I am so sorry to hear of Emilio’s passing. He was always so kind and friendly to me and I enjoyed our conversations. He was always trying to convince me that we should have a Sole Brother’s clinic… he was in fact, a true Sole Brother. I will miss bumping into him and hope that all of you can embrace the memories that you have. His spirit will guide you forever. Take care. Love Mena.
