FRANCO CORRADO
July 29, 1941 – December 31, 2024
It is with profound sadness we announce the passing of our beloved Franco Corrado. Franco was born in Spezzano Province of Cosenza (Calabria), Italy. Born July 29,1941 and passed away on December 31, 2024, in Vancouver BC.
Franco is survived by his loving wife Franca of 61 years, son Pasquale (Rosetta), his loving grandchildren Anthony (Katrina), Franco, Stephanie (Danny), Jessica (Kaden), Talia, and a great granddaughter Natasha. His sisters Lina, Lidia (Rino), sisters-in-law Maria C, Maria Z, Rita (Franco), and brother-in-law Michele (Ilda). Along with many nieces, nephews, cousins, and extended family.
Franco was predeceased by his son Antonio, parents Pasquale and Angelina, brothers Mario (Michelina), Antonio, Alfonso (Angelina), sister Teresa (Francesco), and brothers-in-law Francesco, Giovanni, sister-in-law Carmelina (Pasquale).
Franco immigrated to Canada in 1970, where he made a new life for himself. His passions were spending time with his family especially all his grandchildren, tending to his garden, making homemade wine, and always cheering on the Vancouver Canucks on TV. Franco worked for many years as a truck body builder in Langley, BC but to his family he was much more than just a shop worker. To his children and grandchildren, he was a teacher, guidance counsellor, psychologist, and at times even a banker. But at the end of the day to his sons he will always be known as “pops”.
He leaves behind an ever-lasting legacy that is an inspiration for his family and friends.
