Obituary
PANETTA, Antonio ‘Tony’ (September 10, 1948 – November 6, 2022) – It is with profound sadness we announce the sudden passing of our beloved Tony Panetta at Hamilton General Hospital on Sunday November 6, 2022 at the age 74. Tony was greeted on the other side by his daughter Julie, his mother Concetta (nee Galluzzo) and father Agostino. Left to cherish his memory are his loving wife and soulmate for life Patricia Panetta, his children Paul (Rosie) Panetta, Julie (Paul) Muscroft, Cari (Rob) Irvine, his grandchildren Quinton and Dylan, his 5 brothers; Joe (Anna), Jimmy (Rosemary), Dominic (Mary Jo), Cosmo (Lorie) and Phil. He was adored and loved by his many nieces and nephews. Tony immigrated to Canada from Italy at the age of 9, when he moved to Niagara Falls with his family. Coming from humble beginnings and not knowing the language, he worked hard and made a name for himself in the insurance business working for Olsen Sottile for many years. He was a well-respected and proficient businessman. He made Niagara Falls his home until his passing. He was the kindest, most gentle soul anyone has known. He always spoke kind words for those people that he met and loved his family dearly. Those who knew him appreciated his quiet humor, his gentle smile, his loyalty and integrity to those who mattered the most. He enjoyed spending time at Clancy’s, where he developed many of close friendships over several years, full of laughs and memories. On Sundays he enjoyed playing Scupa and Briscula with his brothers, and in his later years, he loved watching his grandchildren grow. Friends are invited to join the family at the PATTERSON FUNERAL HOME, 6062 Main St. Niagara Falls, visiting Friday November 11 from 2 to 4 and 7 to 9 pm. A Funeral Mass will be celebrated Saturday at 10 am at St. Ann’s Church, with the Rite of Committal to follow at Fairview Cemetery. In honour of Tony’s love of gardening, floral tributes in lieu of donations would be deeply appreciated. Online condolences at pattersonfuneralhome.com
