Rocco D'Addurno

Rocco D’Addurno

Passed away peacefully with his family by his side on Thursday January 23, 2025 at the age of 91. Devoted husband of Concetta for 63 wonderful years. Proud father of Leonardo, Mauro and Sergio (Maria). Cherished Nonno of Rocco and Antonio. He will be sadly missed by his many family and friends. Rocco has been reunited with his dear siblings Francesco, Rosa, Maria, Tina, Leonardo and Elisa.

Rocco was born in Pisticci, Matera, Italy to parents Angela and Antonio. When he immigrated to Canada his love for his homeland remained with him throughout his lifetime.

He was a professional cyclist with many achievements in his class and an avid sports fan. In his spare time you would likely find Rocco tending to his bountiful vegetable garden or enjoying a Formula One race on television.

His family was his pride and joy. Spending time with his grandchildren meant the world to him.

 “Forever loved, always remembered,”

Family and friends will be received at the Ward Funeral Home 4671 Hwy 7, Woodbridge (just west of Pine Valley Dr) on Tuesday from 2-4 and 6-9 p.m. A funeral mass will be held on Wednesday January 29, 2025 at 10 a.m. at St. Margaret Mary Church. Entombment to follow at Queen of Heaven Cemetery. As expressions of sympathy donations to the Sunnybrook Foundation would be appreciated.
