Pietro’s Obituary
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Pietro B. Tessarolo on Saturday, October 16, 2021 in his 84th year after a courageous battle with lung cancer. Beloved husband for 61 years to Olga Tessarolo (nee Motin). Dear father of Danny (Jo-Anne) and Dino. Pietro was a proud Nonno to Kristopher, Jenna, Michelle, Adrianno and Mia. He will be dearly missed by his large family and many friends that live in Italy, the United States and here in Canada. Pietro was born in 1937 in Villaraspa, Marsan, Vincenza, Italy. He came to Canada in 1956. Pietro returned to Italy and then in 1959 he married Olga, the love of his life. The loving couple then returned to Hamilton, Ontario to start a family. Pietro started his career as a Mason in Italy. In Hamilton, he worked at Stelco Hilton Works for more than thirty years, happily retiring in 1991. Throughout his life, Pietro was an avid vegetable gardener, sports fan and wine maker. You could often find him playing cards with his friends and family. He enjoyed playing bocce with his friends at Rosedale Bocce Club. Much appreciation and thanks to the wonderful staff and doctors at Juravinski Cancer Centre, St. Joseph’s Hospital, and Bob Kemp Hospice. Also, a special thank you to Dr. Christine Zrinscak and the home care nurse Rachel for all their help and kindness during this time.
A private family service has already taken place. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Bob Kemp Hospice or a charity of your choice would be appreciated. Messages of condolence can be made under “Guestbook”.
