Obituary
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Alfonso Francesco Ruggero at the age of 69 in Richmond Hill surrounded by the love of his family. He was born on October 15, 1955 in Toronto to Frank and Rosa Ruggero (nee Leggieri). Beloved husband of Sue Ruggero (nee Melbourne). Devoted and loving father of Geoff (Candice). Proud Nonno to Rachael and Sydney. Brother to Margaret (Vince) and Mary.
A dedicated husband and father, Alfonso poured his heart into his family, offering unconditional love and unwavering support. He was the pillar of strength for his son, granddaughters and his family was the heart of his world. Alfonso will be sadly missed and held dear in the hearts of his many extended family and friends. He will be lovingly remembered and never forgotten.
We would like to express our deepest gratitude to the compassionate and dedicated staff at Mackenzie Health Hospital for their exceptional care and support in looking after our beloved Alfonso. Your kindness, patience, and professionalism brought him comfort and peace, and we are truly grateful for the love and respect you showed him throughout his time at the hospital.
In Memory of Alfonso, donations may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society.

My father always said that you knew you had a true friend when you could go for months or even years without seeing each other and when you did meet up again, you picked up exactly where you left off. Distance, time, career and family changes didn’t matter. This describes my friendship with Al Ruggero. We shared many wonderful times with our families. I’ll always remember his laugh. Gone too soon.

Dear Ruggero Family,
I was very sad to learn of Al’s passing. He was a good friend from the St. Basil era, with a great sense of humour. I have very fond memories of him.
May he now RIP.

Although we have not seen each other for years, you have always been and will always be in my heart. Memories of growing up together with our other friends and some of the adventures we had together,(east coast trip) will never leave me. You showed me what being a true friend really means. I will miss you deeply
31 & 63
