Nicola Cirillo

It is with deep sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Nicola Cirillo on January 9, 2025. 

Born on July 4, 1935 in Torre di Ruggiero, Calabria, Italy. Nicola emigrated to Canada with his wife, Caterina. Together they built their family. Nicola was a loving father to Vito (Bonnie), Antonio, Maria (Colin), Nicola Jr. (Jowita) and Lisa. Proud Nonno to Eleisha, Simon, Joseph, Ty, Madyson, Matteo and Sofia. Bisnonno to Emma, Laura, Isabella and Olivia. 

Nicola had many interests. One of his favourite past times was to play cards with those closest to him. Be it Briscola, Scoppa or Tre Sette he loved the opportunity to win at each game and never passed up the chance to tell you “ you need more practice.” And Heaven forbid he lost, then for sure someone fixed the cards!

His other interests were bowling and his love of horses. These activities gave him the social interactions he so loved. Never was there a time that his door wasn’t open to others where they would sit around the table, share a glass of wine and tell a few stories. 

Though we are deeply saddened that he is no longer with us, we take solace in knowing that he has found comfort and peace in the arms of God. He will forever live within our hearts and the man he was to each of us never forgotten.
