Carmine Di Poce

Carmine Di Poce

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Carmine Di Poce, born January 21st, 1934 in Sora, Frosinone, Italy and immigrated to Canada in 1954. Although Carmine was in his 86th year, he was still young at heart and loved spending his days working in the garden with his beloved wife of 66 years, Maria Pia (née Iafrate). Carmine selflessly devoted his life to providing and caring for his family. Aside from his children and grandchildren, his pride and joy were his gardens at both his home in Toronto, ON and cottage in Tiny Beaches, ON. Son of Domenico Di Poce and Maria Domenica Di Poce (née Bifolchi). One of many siblings, he leaves behind his loving sister Anna and his brother Francesco. Devoted father to Antonino, Mirella, Romina, Nadia and Gianpaolo. Loving Nonno to Natasha, Cassandra, Alexandra, Stefania, Frank-Anthony, Adrian-Carmine, Anthony, Emily and Carmen. Cherished Father-in-law to Francesco, Roberto, Maggie and Chris.

A private family service is being held on Friday, November 27th with interment following at Forest Lawn Cemetery. We do understand that there are many who would like to pay their respects, but due to current restrictions, are unable to do so. It is the family’s intention to hold a Celebration of Life when restrictions are lifted. The Family has provided the opportunity to view the Funeral Service at 12:00PM under the “Photos & Videos” tab above, which will become available at the time of the service: https://www.wardfuneralhomes.com
