With grieving hearts, we sadly announce the passing of our well loved Giancarlo Chelini who immigrated to Canada from Italy in the 60’s. Always a brave face, a man that was so strong and courageous beyond words, who fought so hard to stay with us as long as he could, until the sad day March 18th, 2017 when his battle came to an end.
He will always be alive in our hearts. Until we meet again, we love and will miss you so much.
Left to mourn, his wife of 59 years, Loredana; daughters, Loretta (Mike), Denise (Mike), Debbie (Daryl); grandchildren, Sabrina, Daniella, Matteo, Francesca; brothers, Ivano (Luigina) Franco (Mara); sister, Lilliana; in-laws and many nieces and nephews in Canada and Italy.
A small private family funeral was held, therefore, no service to be announced.
We thank-you for your condolences.
