We are saddened to announce the peaceful passing of CHISO CORAZZA, on
Friday, August 6, 2021, with his wife and sons by his side
Chiso came from Treviso, Fontanelle, Italy, to settle in Canada and
finally Lethbridge with little more than a few dollars, a suitcase, and a
dream. He built a legacy that can forever be seen in the countless
construction accomplishments around town.
Chiso is survived by his loving wife of 54 years, Luba; his sons Kim
(Leslie) and Dino (Kaela) and daughter Rita; and grandchildren: Ashely
(Jessie), Travis, Tyler, Abbie, and Frankie. He is also survived by
extended family in Lethbridge, Saskatchewan, and Italy.
Thank you to Dr. Cunningham, Dr. Janzen, and especially Dr. Wong for
their care, the 5B staff at the CRH for their kindness, Palliative Care
team for their compassion, and Chiso’s many friends for their love and
concern.
He was the “Boss” until the end.
Chiso often said he was a “S.O.B.” most of his life. Those that know
him best also know he would be the first to help out those in need and
was a big softie when it came to his “little one” Frankie.
There will be no formal funeral service at Chiso’s request. A Celebration of Chiso’s Life will be held at KIRKHAM INTERNATIONAL MOTOR TRUCK COLLECTION, 828 – 45 Street North, Lethbridge, AB, on Saturday, September 18, 2021 from 2:00 P.M. till 7:00 P.M., for family and friends to share their stories of this iconic man. Although according to Chiso, “people better not say nice things that I know aren’t true.”
In Chiso’s words, “Don’t send me flowers and waste money- instead light a candle and donate to a church.” In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to All Saints Parish (2405- 12 Avenue South, Lethbridge, AB, T1K 0P4).
Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of Corazza Chiso September 20 1935..
Death notice for the town of: Lethbridge, Province: Alberta
