After his brave battle with cancer, we had to say goodbye to our loving father, husband, grandfather and friend, Ottavio Bagnoli on Friday, April 6, 2018. Ottavio’s tenacity and determination gave him more cherished time to spend with his loved ones, with the odds stacked up against him.
Ottavio’s story is one of a true fighter and hero, whom we all admire and aspire to be. An Italian immigrant to Canada, Ottavio never ceased in his drive to make a life for himself, his loving wife and 4 children. He laboured hard in the field of construction until opportunity presented itself and he became a business owner. Coupled with his pride for his children and 9 grandchildren, Ottavio was proud of his accomplishments in business and left behind a great legacy. Ottavio will be fondly remembered for his wisdom, sense of humour, positive outlook and his unconditional love for his family, whom he supported until his last breath. We feel reassured that Ottavio’s presence will always be felt and remembered, and one day we will reunite with his spirit in eternal glory.
