Giovanni Pisaturo
April 20th, 1934 – September 16th, 2021
It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Giovanni Pisaturo, suddenly and peacefully, on September 16th, 2021 in his 87th year. He leaves behind his beloved wife of 62 years Giovanna, his children Tony (Elaine), Claudio (Louise), his grandchildren Nadia (s/o Ryan), Giovanni (Emilia), Matthew, Sabrina, Daniel, and Julia, as well as his siblings Celestino (Rosa), Michele (Stefanina), Licia (Giordano), Marietta (Achille), and Vincenzo (Anna).
Giovanni Pisaturo was born on April 20th, 1934 in Pratella (Caserta) to Antonio Pisaturo and Carolina Orrechio. In 1956, he immigrated to Canada with a suitcase in hand and hope in his heart. He would go on to work as a foreman, prior to studying the art of plastering, for which he would continue to passionately work as a plasterman for 35 years. In the summer of 1959, he married the love of his life, Giovanna Fuoco, and together they would go on to build a wonderful life together. Giovanni lived as though the glass was always half full.
He lived a very long and fulfilling life filled with wine, sambuca, cheese, gardening, bocce tournaments, social club events, trips back to Italy, weekends and summers up north and countless other precious moments. He treasured all of these moments, whether big or small; all while surrounded by his beloved family and friends. Giovanni was known by everyone as Nonno. He was everyone’s favorite Nonno; a class act. On September 16th the world lost an incredibly strong, always funny, positive, and adorable man. There is not enough plaster to fix the cracks in our hearts caused by this sudden loss but the countless memories, with time, will mend them.
