George Fonte
1939-2022
FONTE, George
Age 83, passed away peacefully in his home due to natural
causes. He was the proud father of Tony, Enzo, and Frances (Rob)
Snyder. George is survived by his brother Angelo (Bonnie)
Fonte of Fergus and Silvio (Maria) Fonte of Italy, his sisters:
Silvana Fonte (Vincenzo Mileto), Natalina Fonte (Cosentino
Vincenzo) and Theresa ( the late Domenic) Adderio of
Welland.
He is predeceased by his parents Francesca (Mammoliti) and
Annuziato Fonte; by his sister and brother in-law Maria (Vince)
Carere, and also by his brother and sister in-law Frank (Theresa)
Fonte. George will be remembered by many nieces and nephews
and his fur baby cat, Gimijelo.
George was born March 24, 1939, in San Giorgio Morgeto, a
little town in Italy. He left home at 16 to go work in Rome before
coming to Canada at the age of 21. He retired from Engel
Canada as a machinist. In his retirement you could either find him
working in his garden or walking throughout the city of Guelph,
especially along the river.
George had a very tough life, he was a son, brother, father,
uncle, and friend. I know he is now wrapped in the wings of his
guardian angel, and all who are there to greet him are whispering you
are loved, and you are blessed, welcome home.
