Dear Nancy, Christopher, Carlo and families

Please accept our sincere condolences on the loss of your beloved Leonard. Mike and I just learned of Len's passing and my heart is breaking for you Nancy.  We knew he was battling cancer and I apologize Nancy for not being in touch more often.  We will remember Len as a kind and loving husband, wonderful and supportive father and hard working man. He will be truly missed by all who knew him and loved him. Rest in Peace old friend.

To our Dad and Nonno,

Sometimes people enter our lives only for a short while, but during their stay, they make such an impact.  Dad, you were one of those people.  Your stay with us was not long enough.  We still look at our front door and expect to see you walk through it with your computer and camera in hand; ready to share a dinner, a story, a laugh.  You always had such a zest for life and a passion that was truly contagious. You would light up a room.  You will always be a part of our past memories, a part of our thoughts of today and a part that we will hold dear to our hearts in the future.  

With all our love, Chris, Erica, Tiffany, Lesley

Leonard,
We talk about you all the time and remember all the laughs and happy occasions we shared as parents and grandparents when spending time with our kids and two beautiful granddaughters.  Last weekend we were all up at Chris and Erica's chalet together watching the girls final race of the ski season.  You were there with us, in spirit, in our conversations and in our hearts.  Our thoughts and prayers are with you always, until we meet again.  Casey and Ana Zizek

Dad and Nonno, I still can't believe your gone, it doesn't feel like reality yet.  There is not a minute that goes by when I don't think of you.  I miss everything about you, your smile, your laugh, your love, and most importantly your interaction with Jacob and Jeremy. 
The boys miss you dearly, but I take comfort knowing you are looking down watching over them and making sure they are safe.  I know the memories you left them will live in their hearts and shape their lives forever.  
Your strength and love for life are values I will strive to live by.  To live for today and cherish every moment I have with my family.  Your life is truly an inspiration.
I pray you are at peace, free of pain and suffering and reunited with loved ones in heaven.  I hope it's as beautiful as we believe.  
Even though you are gone, your memories will forever be remembered in our hearts, thoughts, and prayers.

I Love you Dad and Nonno

Love Carlo, Sandra, Jacob and Jeremy

Dear Nancy and Family,
*Perhaps they are not stars, but rather openings in heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know they are happy. ~Eskimo Proverb
May your grief be replaced by happy memories. Hoping you will have a fantastic view of the stars especially at your home away from home.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Mike and Bonnie Freeman

Dearest Leonard/Uncle Lenny

There are no words to express our sadness.  You were and always will be an important part of our lives.  You have showed us the true meaning of courage and strength through your fight. When we are together with the family, we will always feel your presence and take the time to remember you.  

You should be proud of Chris and Carlo and their families because they are a reflection of you and Nancy.

Your loss will have such an impact on our lives because we feel that we have not only lost a brother-in-law and uncle, but a brother, a second father and best friend.  Watching you the last 4 years struggling with cancer and your determination to survive showed us your courage and strength.  We hope to find that in all of us. 

Now that your time to rest has come, we feel such a great loss.   We will miss you so much and we will miss your laughter, your jokes and just you.  We want to thank you for all the wonderful memories you have given us and for your love.  We will always treasure them.  Please know that we will take care of Nancy and we will use the courage that you showed us to help her get through her battle.   

We hope now that you are with God, you are no longer in pain and that you are at peace. We will always love you and hold you deep in our hearts.

Love Always 
Anthony, Kathy, Stephen and Natalie

I was so saddened by this news. Nancy and family please accept our deepest condolences and know that Émilie and I are with you in spirit in this time of grief.

Dear Nancy and family.  This to express our sincere condolences for your loss.  Although we saw each other at rare family gatherings, we all have fond memories of Leonard that go back to the early days of our youth. Leonard was truly one of the few people you meet in life that is an honest and genuine soul.  We are all blessed to have been touched by him. We pray that God keep all of you in this time of sorrow.
-Victor, Michael, Lorenzo,Paul DiGirolamo and Families.

I remember last summer when we visited the Belwood trailer. We were so happy to have spent time with Len and Nancy there. They were so proud of their new deck!! Eventhough it was a little chilly that day, Len insisted that we eat outside and enjoy it. It was wonderful! Nancy: He was so funny when he snuck a glass of wine eventhough he was taking medication! I remember his face when he enjoyed it thoroughly. Len you will be truly missed.

Dear Nancy and family, Our heartfelt condolences for your loss.  Our prayers and thoughts are with you.  Our memories of Leonard will always be with us and our family. With all our LOVE, Donna, Raymond Grycko and family

My Dearest Leonard
From the first day I met you Leonard I knew I was in love with you.
We have known each other for 46 beautiful years, 42 of which we were married. We raised two wonderful boys, Christopher (married to Erica) and Carlo (married to Sandra).  They have blessed us with four beautiful grandchildren, Tiffany, Lesley, Jacob and Jeremy. 
Life has been good to us and I am so grateful that I have had you in my life and for the love we shared together. 
Please know that every minute of every day I will be thinking of you and loving you more and more. 
I cherish every day we had together and will think each day of all the happy times we have had together. 
You will be greatly missed by all the family but you are here in spirit watching over us.
Rest in peace my love with God and until we meet again I remain yours forever. 
Your Loving Wife Nancy  xoxoxo

Wishing you peace to bring comfort, courage to face the days ahead and loving memories to forever hold in your hearts. Please accept our heartfelt condolences.   The Lourenco Family. ( Friends of Carlo & Sandra )

Nancy, Chris, Carlo and family. What we are feeling is hard to put into words, knowing that we have lost such a caring and loving family friend.  Len was a ray of sunshine, always brightening up the room with his vibrant presence.  With Len in the room there was never a dull moment, may it  be for his jokes, or his contagious laugh. Len was always able to bring laughter and joy to our lives in any situation, he always saw the brighter side to things.  We are so grateful and blessed to have had Len part of our lives.  We will cherish every moment that we shared together.  Len who was like a second father to us will be greatly missed and forever in our hearts.   Love always, Anil, Natasha, Gabriella, & Marcus Talib xoxoxo

Len was like a second father to me, and I will miss him greatly.  There is now a void in me that will never fully be filled again, but I seriously doubt that there is anyone else who would be able to fill his shoes.  Len was one of the truly sincerly nice people out there, and his passing will be felt by many.  I hope that the Cirillo's will heal as best they can, and know that Len will always be with us, just not in the physical way.  He will always hold a special place in my heart and I feel honoured to have known him and to have played a part in his (and his family's) lives.  Sincerly Marsha Singh xoxox

I would like to extend my most heartfelt condolences to the Cirillo Family on your loss. Sincerely Deputy Mayor Gino Rosati, City of Vaughan.

Nancy and family.  Our deepest condolences to the family.  Len was a unique individual.  He had a natural, positive outlook and was able to inspire and connect with all generations while here at Cineplex.  I fondly remember Len and the excitement he shared for life and in particular for his family.  He will be greatly missed.  Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.

Nancy, Christopher, Carlo, Linda, John and their respective families. Our sincere condolences on the passing of Leonard.  Though it has been many years since we've all been together, I fondly  remember the large gathering of family for dinners at Jimmy and Vi's home when I was a child.  

Janis, Chris, Jenna & Evan Honke

Dear Nancy, Chris, Carlo and family.  We were deeply saddened by the passing of Len.  Our family has many wonderful memories of Len and all the things we did together.  Harry and I considered Len as a brother and we will miss him terribly.  Len always was full of fun and laughter.

It was always great to see Leonard at the many family gatherings at Eddie and Linda's home where we enjoyed his story telling, his jokes and his  wonderful sense of humour. We will miss him and always remember those good times.

The Lucarelli family, Ed Sr, Darlene and Brian

It is with a heavy heart that we bid farewell to a special person. May you Nancy with yours sons Chris and Carlos find comfort in knowing your loved one has found his peaceful place.

Our deepest condolences.
 (friends of Erica and Chris)

My deepest condolences for your loss. Len was such a caring man, full of laughter and spirit.  I'm happy to have had a chance to work with him at Cineplex.  He was so proud of his family and often spoke so fondly of his wife Nancy.  I'm sure there is plenty of popcorn where you are now my friend.

In life you meet people who touch you in different ways, and although we did not know Leonard as close friends, he touched our lives and our hearts and we knew instantly what a wonderful man he was.  Nancy you are an inspiration to us as you have shown what love truly is.  Our deepest condolences to the entire family, Nancy, your sons, grandchildren, John, Linda, and all nephews and nieces,  Giulio and Aurelia Bertocchi

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Condolences to the Cirillo family, my deepest sympathy for your loss.

Peter Mitchell, a friend of Carlos.

Nancy, my deepest condolences to you and your family.  Len was an amazing person and truly great friend. I will always cherish the fond memories that we shared.

I am so proud of my big brother.
In the last while, for some time, in all his pain and physical burdens, he remained cheerful and positive, with an incredible spirit steadfast and strong.
I am in awe of the heroic love and devotion he received from his entire family, but in particular his dear and loving wife of 42 years, Nancy, who , with all her own serious health issues, never called out in need for herself and instead never left her husband's side.
Lenny was my best friend and the role model of how to live .
His marriage to Nancy was a role model of how to love !
How he made us laugh (again and again)
We will all  miss him more than words will ever describe, 
But we take comfort in our faith in the belief he is in a good place and all his wonderful qualities are personified in his two incredible sons Christopher and Carlo, and through them , to his four beautiful grandchildren.
John

Words fall short of expressing our sorrow for your loss.  Please accept our most heartfelt sympathies.  Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time.

Nancy, Chris, and Carlo you are all in my thoughts.  I have so many wonderful memories of Leonard from our trips to Myrtle Beach and our families getting together in Brampton.  He was such a kind and generous person.

Dear Nancy and family, Our heartfelt condolences - Len was a great person, but most of all, he was a great husband, father, and grandfather -  we cherish the wonderful times spent together. God Bless him, you and your family. Love

Nancy & Family, my deepest sympathies for your loss.  Len was an amazing human being - always a joy to see him at the office when he worked here at Cineplex - so shocked to hear this news today.  My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family during this very difficult time.

This is so sad.  I remember the good times that I had with Len.  He was a great guy and would give you the shirt off his back.

Nancy, my heart goes out to you and the family.  He was one of a kind!!!

Nancy, our deepest condolences to you and your family.  Our Prayers and thoughts are with you and May Len Rest In Peace.  May God give you strength and good health and the Holy Spirit Guide you now and always.  Love,  Fatima and Emanuel Machado (Rosedale)

Our heartfelt condolences go out to the entire Cirillo family.

Words seem inadequate to express the sadness we feel about  Leonard's passing.  Take comfort in knowing others share your pain and loss.  We wish you peace to bring comfort, courage to face the days ahead and loving memories to forever hold in your hearts.  Know that we are here to support you in your grieving process.

Nancy and family, please accept our most heartfelt sympathies for your loss. Len was a wonderful man that was always a pleasure to work and spend time with. Our thoughts are with you and your family during this difficult time.

Leonard, my oldest big brother.  I feel like a light has gone out and I can't imagine what life is going to be like without your presence in it.  I will miss you so much, your smile, your laughter, your thoughtfulness, your thirst for knowledge, your zest for life, your love for family and friends, your dependability and so much more.  You were always there when I needed you.  I find comfort though in knowing that every time I will be with Christopher and Carlo, I will see  you as each of them has a part of you instilled in them.  You were a wonderful father raising with Nancy two beautiful sons that I know you were so proud of. Through you and Nancy I learned how to be a good parent.  I also take comfort in believing that you are now in heaven with all our loved ones that had gone before you and are sitting at a table with Dad and Mom eating a delicious roast beef dinner, drinking a glass of full bodied red wine, and ending with Auntie Rae's famous apple pie.  Those were the days.  Mostly I take comfort though in knowing that you are now at peace, looking down at us all as our new guardian angel.  I know that we will meet again one day, but til then I will hold onto all the  beautiful memories you gave me and keep you forever in my heart.  Heaven has a new star shining bright.  Love your sister

It is not how long someone has lived but the way the person lived his life that measures the greatness of a man. Len did not stay with us for long but lived a significant life the way a Christian should. I was blessed to have met him and lovely Nancy. My fondest thoughts and prayers to Len's family. Elnora Magboo

Nancy, Christopher  Carlo  and families our thoughts and prayers are with you all.  Leonard will truly be missed - his zest for life- his infectious laugh - his great sense of humour and his great big generous heart were just a few of the things we loved about him and will miss.   Our lives were enriched by having Leonard as a friend.
