Uncle to many nieces and nephews.
Benny was born in Italy on May 5, 1932 and came to Canada as a teenager in 1951 to begin his career as a bricklayer/mason. He was proud of his accomplishments in his buildings as they still stand today. He loved fishing in his younger days and enjoyed dancing with his wife Savina. In his later days he enjoyed time at the community centre playing cards with the locals. He admired his town of Weston where he spent his last days.
A gratitude of thank you goes to all those who helped Benny during his illness: Marzia, Silvio, neighbours Brenda, Franca and Lorenzo; to the ladies April, Judy, Jocel, Judith, Charlene who cared for Benny at his house and to Weston Terrace Care Community for their care of Benny in his last days.
