It is with great sadness that the family announces the passing of GIOVANNI SILVANO on Tuesday, December 15, 2020 at the age of 94.
He will be deeply missed by his beloved wife of 69 years Annita Dell’Osa Silvano, his loving children Pasquale (Josie), and Maria-Rosa (Joe), his cherished grandchildren Sonia (Donato), Sabrina, Joseph and Daniel, his great-grandson Adriano, his brother Peter (Anna), his sisters Giuseppina (Late Luciano) and Luisa (Mike), his sister-in-law Giuseppina (Late Giacomo) as well as many other relatives and friends.
Born in Guglionesi, Italy on September 23rd 1926, Giovanni left his home for Montreal in 1953 in search of a better life for himself and his family. Giovanni worked for many years on various construction projects, including the Olympic Stadium and the Decarie Interchange. He will be best remembered as a quiet, thoughtful and hardworking man who enjoyed making wine, tending to his garden and spending time with his family. In honour of his daily glass of wine and for his love of proverbs, we leave him with this thought : “Una tavola senza vino è come una giornata senza sole.”
Due to the circumstances, the funeral rituals will be celebrated in private by the immediate family.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Maisonneuve-Rosemont Hospital Foundation or The Quebec Lung Association.
