Rocco Oppedisano

It is with profound sadness and endless love that we announce the peaceful passing of Rocco Oppedisano on July 11, 2026, at the accomplished age of 98. Born on October 19, 1927, in the picturesque town of Locri, Reggio Calabria, Italia, Rocco's life was a testament to the values of family, faith, and community.

Rocco was the beloved son of the late Antonio and Maria Concetta Oppedisano. He was predeceased by his cherished siblings Domenico and Caterina, who were always close to his heart. In his early years, Rocco cultivated a passion for reading and gardening, pursuits that would remain integral to his life. His garden and vinery were cherished for their bounty, and he delighted in sharing the fruits of his labor with family and neighbors alike.

In Locri, Rocco met and married the love of his life, Paolina. Their union was blessed with two sons, Antonio and Bruno, and a lifetime of shared joys and challenges. Together, they built a loving home characterized by warmth, faith and generosity. Rocco's gentle spirit made those he met feel welcome and valued. His quiet acts of kindness left an indelible mark on those who knew him.

Rocco's legacy continues through his devoted wife Paolina, his sons Antonio and Bruno, and his daughter-in-law Lisa Di Prospero. His grandchildren, Luca and Sofia, were the light of his life, and he took immense pride in their accomplishments. Rocco's extended family all held a special place in his heart.

A service to celebrate Rocco's remarkable life will be held on July 16, 2026, at 17:00 at Delmoro Funeral Home, located at 61 Beverly Hills Dr., Toronto. The family wishes to extend their heartfelt gratitude to the staff at Delmoro Funeral Home for their compassionate care during this difficult time.

In lieu of flowers, donations in memory of Rocco may be made to the Canadian Mental Health Association of York South Simcoe (CMHAYSS), MS Canada or to ShareLife Canada, by clicking the links on this webpage for Rocco.

His spirit will forever live on in the hearts of those who loved him.
