06 June 1933 – 19 March 2023
It is with great sadness and much love that the family of Costantino DiRenzo announces his peaceful passing at the age of 89 years, surrounded by his wife and children.
Costantino will be lovingly remembered by his wife of 66 years, Livia; children Enzo, Franco, and Antonella (Paul); grandchildren Briana and Lukas; and sister Maria (Nicola). He was predeceased by his siblings Giuseppe (Domenica), Tonino (Lucia), Laura (Enrico), Nicoletta (Santino) and Camillo. He will be missed by his “famiglia in Italia et Canada’, as well as numerous relatives and friends in the USA and around the world.
Costantino was born in Lettomanoppello, in the Italian province of Pescara, where he met his beloved wife. They immigrated to Canada in 1965 with their children and settled in Guelph, ON, where some of his family had already made their home. He enjoyed many years in the city surrounded by family, with much time spent outdoors working in his garden and savoring his homemade ‘vino’.
Family and friends will remember Costantino as a hardworking and patient man, caring husband, and loving father. His warm heart and kind smile will be missed by everyone who had the pleasure of knowing him.
