Antonio’s Obituary
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Antonio Sorce, in his 84th year, peacefully at St. Joseph’s Hospital on September 8 2019, surrounded by his loving family. Beloved husband and soul-mate of Carmelina for 60 beautiful years of marriage. Cherished and adored father and father-in-law of Patrick and Rose Sorce, Josie and John Ascrizzi, and Enza and Joseph Mancinelli. Dearly loved and admired Nonno of Antonio (Lisa), Alessandro, Bianca, Francesco, Julia, Nadia, Rosa Lina (Alex), Victoria (Anthony), Stefania, Enrico and Michael. Beloved bisnonno to Noah and Aidan. Antonio will be sadly missed by many nephews, nieces and good friends in Canada and Sicily. Antonio is survived by his brother Pietro and Giovanna Sorce, sister Carmela and the late Salvatore Ferlisi and sister-in-law Giovanna and Pino Licata. He is predeceased by his parents Pasquale and Giuseppina Sorce, brothers Carmelo and Giuseppina Sorce and Salvatore and Lina Sorce. A devoted husband and father, Antonio migrated to Canada from Palermo, Sicily in 1962 to build a better life for his family. He embodied a strong work ethic that remains influential in the remaining generations of his family. Antonio had a great passion for helping others, Juventus soccer, working in his garden and had a tremendous undeniable love for his family, especially the love shared with his wife, Carmelina. On behalf of our family, we extend our sincere gratitude to the Doctors and staff of St Joseph’s Hospital for their compassionate care throughout Antonio’s stay. A special thank you to Nurse Cindy. You have been a shining light throughout Antonio’s stay. His life will be remembered in one of irreplaceable love, laughter and selflessness. A humble smile that we will remember and cherish forever. Until we hear you whistle again…
