It is with great sadness that we announce the unexpected passing of our father, grandfather and great grandfather, Vincenzo (Vince) Tacchi on December 9, 2018 at the age of 96.

Vincenzo was born on November 30, 1922 in Gubbio, Umbria, Italy. He immigrated to Canada in 1955 with his brother Elio to reunite with their brother Giuseppe who settled in Winnipeg in 1951. His wife Giovanna and first born, Emilio, followed 2 years later. The majority of his working life was at Misericordia Hospital as a Cook. Dad was a man of strong character, values and ethics. He was a hard worker who devoted his entire life to provide for his family. He enjoyed family gatherings, day trips to the beach, gardening, wine making, playing bocce and briscola.
