Donato was a devoted husband, cherished father, loving grandfather and friend to all. He will be remembered by his loving wife, Angela (Marrone) of 56 years and two sons, Michele (Enza) and Giuseppe (Sabrina). He was a proud Nonno to Julia, Liana, Victoriana and Gianluca. Donato will be deeply missed by his siblings, nieces, nephews, and many friends.
Donato immigrated to Canada from Alerbona, Puglia, Italy in 1968. He made a life with his wife and brought with him a strong work ethic, a love for gardening and a desire to provide and care for his family. He worked as a carpenter for over 42 years and always looked forward to spending time with his grandchildren. Donato will forever be remembered for his strong will, unwavering determination and unbounding love and support for his family.
Donato is now reunited in heaven with his parents Michele, Maria (Paradiso) and loved ones who passed before him.
His legacy will continue to inspire and shape the lives of those who loved him dearly.
