Obituary of Gaetano Cappuccitti

After a long battle with MSA, Gordon passed peacefully in his home, surrounded by his family, at the age of 85. Pre-deceased by his parents Vincent “Jimmy” and Mary “The Store” Cappuccitti; sister Flora and brothers Mario and Rocco. Beloved husband of previously deceased wife Audrey; wonderful father to Danny (and Silvia), Larry, Vincent (and Abril) and Michelle. Cherished Nonno Gordy to Joey, Vinny, Courtney, Jimmy, Timothy and Anna. Beloved brother-in-law to Verona and Michael Velazquez, Frances Cappuccitti and Mary Cappuccitti. Gordon will be sadly missed by all his nieces and nephews, cousins and friends. Together with his brother Rocco, they founded Ontario Potato Distributing. Inc. and built it into the largest potato growing, packing and logistics company in Ontario. All his loyal and long-time staff will miss him dearly. Gordon also had a passion for thoroughbred horses and was a successful owner at Woodbine Racetrack along with his late wife Audrey for many years. Together they won the Sovereign award numerous times for a variety of their horses. A very special thank you to all his caregivers who provided much love, support and amazing care for Gordon until his passing, we are grateful to you all. Thank you to Dr. Kapusta who graciously came to see Gordon regularly at his home. Words of comfort, shared stories, photos and memorial donations may be left for the family using the links above.
