Paolozza, Antonio (Died)

Passed away peacefully on

Friday, August 13, 2021 at

Lakeridge Health Oshawa in

his 84th year. Antonio was the

devoted husband of Esterina

for 55 years. Antonio is

predeceased by his father

Vincenzo, mother Rosalia,

brother Michael (Teresa),

sisters Teresa (Lario) and

Amelia, brother-in-law Tonino

(Gemma), brother-in-law Felice

(Elba), brother-in-law Tomaso

(Teresa), and sister-in-law

Elisa. Antonio is survived by

brothers Robert (Brenda),

Giuliano "Jules" (Joy), sisters

Lucia (Joe) and Gemma,

brother-in-law Gerardo (Maria),

and sister-in-law Teresa.

Antonio was a favorite uncle

(Zio Mimi) to numerous nieces

and nephews, a devoted

godfather to several godchildren,

and a cherished friend and

cousin to many others

throughout Italy, Canada, and

the United States. Antonio

immigrated to Canada from

Baselice, Italy, in 1955 to build

a better life. A lover of good

food, fine wine, and a hearty

laugh, Antonio will be best

remembered telling stories,

entertaining friends, and enjoying

a good meal from his

chair at his dining table.

Antonio loved to travel, having

spent many winters in Mexico

with his beloved wife, played

the accordion, and lived life

to the fullest. We would like

to extend our gratitude to

the nurses, PSWs, and care

providers at Bayshore for

providing Antonio with the

support he needed during his

final days. We would also like

to thank the doctors and

nurses at Lakeridge Health

Oshawa for caring for him in

his final hours. Antonio will be

dearly missed by his family

and friends, and especially

by his forever-admiring wife

Esterina, who spent every

moment devoted to him. We

love you; rest in peace, Tony.
