Troncoso, Sergio
April 11, 1938 – May 21, 2022
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Sergio Troncoso, on May 21, 2022. Sergio leaves behind his loving wife Hilda, of over 59 years, his children Sergio (Ana Maria), Jimena, Marcia (Andrew), his grandchildren, Daniel, Marcia, Adam, Alison, Olivia, and Eric, his Nephew Juan Carlos. A special uncle (tio) to Eric, Christian, Adrian, and Maggie, and many nieces and nephews.
Sergio came to Canada in 1975, where he started a new chapter in his life with his family.. Starting in Elliot Lake, where he worked in the Denison Mines from 1977-1989. Sergio was well known in his family and within the Hispanic community for being Santa Claus to newly arrived immigrant families every year, where he would dress up in the full costume, and jingle his way to kids and grandchildren’s houses to announce, that Santa had finally arrived.
Sergio had a saying, which was problems, are just fixes waiting to happen; Sergio was one of the most positive, caring, witty, and loving man that you could meet, he wore his heart on his sleeve, and that was clear to all who had the opportunity to spend even just a moment with him.
Our sincere thank you to the nurses on 6GI at St. Joseph’s Hospital who treated for our father with the outmost care and dignity. Also our heartfely thank you to Dr. Mitri and Kathleen Wileson from the palliative team who not only put our father’s care first but gave his family space and time to honour our father’s legacy by letting us share stories about our father’s life. We laughed and cried and the team was not only present for our father but his family.
Visitation will be held at Bay Gardens Funeral Home, (905.574.0405) “William J. Markey Chapel”, 947 Rymal Rd. E, Hamilton, ON, on Sunday, May 29th from 4pm-8pm. A funeral service will be held on Monday, May 30th, at 11:00am, at St. Margaret Mary Church, 20 Idlewood Ave. Hamilton, ON.
