January 28, 1933 – December 2, 2018
It is with great sadness that the family of Antonio Preziosi announces his passing, after a difficult battle with Alzheimer’s, on Sunday December 2, 2018 at the age of 85. Beloved husband of Anna Preziosi (Di Blasio). Dear father to Dino (Maria), Frank (Lia), loving grandfather to Arianne, Anthony and Luca. Cherished uncle to many nieces and nephews. Born on January 28, 1933 in Montorio nei Frentani CB Italy, he was the son of the late Ernesto and Giuseppina (Pateras) Preziosi. He immigrated to Canada in 1951.
A Tailor by profession, thimble, tracing chalk, and a measure tape were never too far from reach. During his struggle with the disease he often found solace in holding these tools of the trade in his hands or playing with a piece of fabric or handkerchief.
