Elia Mastri, born in Faeto, Italy on Wednesday, April 3, 1929 to Michele Mastri and Rosa Spinelli-Mastri is the beloved husband of Alda, loving father of Michael (June) and Rosa (Robert), adorning grandfather of Keven, dear brother of Angela, Giovanna, Maria, Samuele, and Ida, loving uncle to so many, brother-in-law and dear friend. Elia filled our hearts with genuine joy of life, deep faith, an infectious smile and humour, continuous song, music from his harmonica, trumpet and piano, and incredible stories right up until his peaceful passing on Friday, October 23, 2020.
Undoubtedly, Elia is remembered for his daily reading of and mediation on the scriptures. He followed his father’s love of gardening and nature as his own love of the backyard garden always filled the freezer at harvest time with the abundance of every vegetable possible. He is remembered for his ability to carefully graft fruit trees for everyone on the street, his bicycle that got him everywhere until the ripe age of 85, his love for a glass of red wine with dinner, his inspiration, and his unconditional love.
Please join us in honouring the life that we have been blessed with of this incredible man whom we will dearly miss.
