PIO, Camillo
It is with broken hearts and a lifetime of memories that we announce the passing of Camillo (Carm) Pio on February 24, 2018 in his 90th year.
Camillo was a wonderful husband of 55 years to the love of his life Santa (nee D’Angelo) and adoring father to his three children Dan Pio (Andrea), Angela Grimaldi (Louie) and Diana Calogero (Claudio).
He was the most caring Nonno to his precious grandchildren Samantha Williams (Malcolm), Chelsea, Melissa, Sofia, Leo Camillo and Luke.
With a heavy heart, Camillo left his beloved Abruzzo Italy at the early age of 18. He lived and worked in Venezuela for 14 years in order to provide for his family back home. In 1966, Camillo and Santa immigrated to Canada. Camillo’s career included 29 years with the City of Hamilton, retiring in 1993 as Foreman at Ivor Wynne Stadium.
Camillo is predeceased by his parents Addolorata and Domenico, and by mother and father-in-law Adelina and Angelo Marino.
He is the loving brother of the late Italia and Armando Di Saverio, the late Nicolina and Vincenzo Lolli, Onorina and the late Renzo Vincenzi, the late Maria Pio, the late Angelo and Adelina Pio, the late Donato Pio and dearest brother-in-law to the late Paulo D’Angelo. Camillo will be sadly missed by his nieces and nephews, Peter and Teresa Coruzzi, Angelo and Grace Lolli, Beatrice and John Morgante, and Josie and Nick Alfieri.
Camillo enjoyed looking after his vegetable garden, making wine and prosciutto, eating his favorite homemade biscotti, listening to traditional Italian music and spending as much time as possible with his children and grandchildren.
Camillo will be missed by many, including extended family, friends, and neighbours in Canada, the United States and Italy.
