Predeceased by his parents Nicola and Carmela Vincelli. Loving brother of Rosina Corsi and her late husband Pasquale of B.C., and the late Giuseppe Vincelli and his wife Carmelina of Windsor. Loved brother-in-law of the late Giovanni Caruso and his late wife Carmelina, Giacinto and Maria Caruso, and Raffaelo and Giuseppina Caruso, and the late Pasquale Caruso all of Windsor, and Maria and the late Pasquale Marcogliese, and Lidia and Giovanni Felicita, all of Italy. He will be sadly missed by many nieces and nephews in Canada, Italy, United States and Belgium. Giovanni was a WWII veteran, and fought with the Italian army. He was a prisoner of war for two years. Giovanni and his wife immigrated to Canada in 1952 for a chance at a better life for their family. He worked for the Windsor Board of Education and retired in 1988 after a lengthy career. He was a proud member of the Giovanni Caboto Club for many, many years. He loved to garden, making wine and watching the Toronto Maple Leafs.
