Obituary of Giuseppe Amato

Giuseppe “Joe” Amato1942/05/05 – 2020/07/16 Joe died peacefully at home, surrounded by family, on July 16th 2020 after a short and difficult battle with cancer. Beloved husband to Domenica (51 years) and proud father of Davide (Colleen), Joe (Kim) and Andria (Richard). Predeceased by daughter-in-law Letizia. Loving Nonno to Evan, Stefania, Merrick, Anthony and Nicholas. Son of Davide and Bruna Amato. Survived by elder sister Concetta and predeceased by elder siblings Rosa, Antonio and Raffaele. Cherished uncle to many nieces and nephews. A man of conviction who was defined by his manners and moral compass, Joe was a lover of the outdoors, an avid follower of current events and professional soccer and the biggest fan of any sport his grandchildren played. He loved unconditionally. His friendly and inviting smile lit up every room he entered. Joe was a protector and great judge of character. If he considered you a friend, you were always welcome at his table with a loving smile and a glass of homemade wine. All who had the pleasure of knowing him will miss him dearly. In lieu of flowers, a donation to the Canadian Cancer Society or Lung Association of Canada is greatly appreciated._____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As directed by the Province of Ontario and the Bereavement Authority of Ontario the attendance at the funeral and cemetery is restricted to 30% capacity or less and a record of attendance must be maintained.Wearing of masks, or face coverings, by everyone is mandatory during their time in the funeral home or cemetery.Respecting the current situation and pandemic building restrictions, a Funeral Visitation and Service will be for invited guests only.At this time we ask that you kindly join our family via live stream by clicking on the following link on Tuesday, July 21, 2020 at 1:15 p.m. Please follow the link below to view the live stream.https://www.distantlink.com/DLM77.htmlPassword: Arbor1
