The age of 93 years old due to a brief cardiac illness. One of Donato's biggest accomplishments was being a devout husband to the late Maddalena Piccioni and father to Anna ( Nicola) , Nicolina ( the late Augusto) , Pia ( Pietro) , Gabriella and Linda ( the late Felice) . His numerous grandchildren Stefania (Cosmo), Joey (Daphne), Pino (Isabel), Marco (Felicia), Jason (Audrey), Donny, Tania (Valentino), Domenico (Samantha) and Felice called Donato a superhero, and even as adults, they still see him that way. Adoring and playful bisnonno etched in the memory of his great grandchildren, Nico, Nicola, Giuliana, Madeleine, Alessia, and Adriano. Loved and cherished by his many nieces and nephews. Remembered by dear relatives and friends for his love of values and life. Donato was the last surviving of his predeceased brothers and sisters. A pillar for all of the family, he was always there for them through their ups and downs, and taught them to enjoy every moment life has to offer. A man is a success – who has lived well, laughed often and loved much; who has gained the respect of intelligent men and the love of children; who has filled his niche and accomplished his task; who leaves the world better than he found it; who has never lacked appreciation of earth’s beauty, who looked for the best in others and gave the best he had. Due to Covid restrictions a private visitation on April 18, 2021 and a private funeral on April 19, 2021 will be held; hence to his final resting place at Cote Des Neiges cemetery.
