Francesco “Frank” Marroccoli
Passed away peacefully on September 5th, 2019 at the age of 90 years old. Predeceased by his loving wife, Antonietta Marroccoli, who he was married to for over 50 years. Francesco is survived by his five incredible children: Luigi (Mary) who survives his wife Colette, Nick (Michelle), Domenic (Gabrielle), Rocky (Shawna), and Grace (William). Francesco was a grandfather to many wonderful grandchildren: Antonietta (Fraser), Cassandra (Paolo), Amelia (Alex), Bianca (Ryan), Victoria, Frankie, Duncan, Marie, Vincent, Nicolas, and Malcolm.
Francesco – known as Nonno to his 11 grandchildren – was a strong man of tradition. He ensured to pass on his family values to his grandchildren ensuring that they understood the importance of family and the value of time spent together. His grandchildren will always cherish the memories of his sense of humor, adorable smile, quick jokes, love for food, ability to nap like no other, and his special ability to sneak treats to them. Nonno would make sure that at a young age his grandchildren knew how to make a good tomato sauce, take them to the park near his house, and sneak them chocolate bars he won from playing cards at the Italian Club. Francesco in his silence always was able to make his family feel safe and comforted in his company. Everyone always left with a hug, a kiss, a smile, and a full belly once having visited with Nonno. When Francesco’s grandchildren would visit him at Northridge LTC, they would always be asked by him to get him pasta and cookies, most specifically maple cookies. All 11 of his grandchildren hope that he can enjoy mounds of pasta and every maple cookie in the world while he rests in peace.
He was a man of few words but was always able to speak a thousand words with a single expression. Francesco will always be remembered as a pillar of the Marroccoli family and his memory will live on through the countless memories and impressions he has left on his family and grandchildren.
Visitation for Francesco will be held at the Kopriva Taylor Community Funeral Home, 64 Lakeshore Road West, Oakville (one block east of Kerr Street), from 2-4 p.m. and 6-8 p.m. on Sunday, September 8th, 2019. A Catholic Chapel Service will be at Kopriva Taylor Community Funeral Home at 10 am on Monday, September 9th, 2019 with entombment to follow at Glen Oaks Mausoleum in Oakville.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to Sick Kids Hospital in Toronto in Francesco’s memory
