Eugenio Costantino

Eugenio was predeceased by his wife Giulia and son in law Gino.

He is survived by his three children Jenny Mazza, Vince (Vicky) and Lisa Imbrogno (Mark Mathewson). Along with grandchildren; Charlie and Gino Mazza, Luigi, Marco and Luca Imbrogno, Julia, Gina and Sara Costantino and great grandchildren; Marco, Serena and Paolo Mazza. All of his grandchildren were especially close to his heart.

Eugenio was born on Feb 1, 1934 in Cosenza Italy where he met and married wife Giulia in 1957. In 1958 they moved to Fort William Ontario where they lived for a few years and in 1963 they returned to Italy. A year later in 1964 they immigrated to Winnipeg.

Eugenio started his career as a tailor at the very young age of 8 years old as an apprentice. He worked for many years and even though he retired at 65 he continued to sew and alter clothes for his family up until a few weeks ago.

He loved working in his garden, his tomatoes were his pride and joy. He also loved making his wine every fall, sharing and comparing it with his friends.

A big thank you to the staff on the 8th floor of St. Boniface Hospital.

If friends so desire, (in lieu of flowers) donations may be made in Eugenio's memory to the Heart and Stroke Foundation. A private service will be held.

Dad and Nonno, we will always remember the life lessons you taught us. Thank you for insisting we speak Italian growing up and teaching the grandchildren the bits of Italian and traditions that connected them with their culture. Sei sempre nei nostri cuori e ti vogliamo bene. Ripose in pace caro papa.
