elevated a76e1 Obituary

elevated a76e1 It is with great sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Antonio Pompilii on September 29, 2023 at the age of 89. Beloved husband of 63 years to Maria. Caring and devoted father to Sabatino (Rosalind) and Patrizia (Graham). Proud Nonno to Anthony, Marco, Alexander, Christian and Kristina. Loving brother to Francesca (the late Silvano), Lidia (the late Vincenzo), Alberina (Gabriele) and the late Ercole (Teodora).

elevated a76e1 Antonio was born in Miano, Italy – a small hilltop village nestled amongst the hills of Abruzzo between the Gran Sasso Mountains and the Adriatic Sea.

elevated a76e1 He immigrated to Canada as a young man in pursuit of crafting a better future, and during these foundational years he’d marry his loving wife Maria and together they created a life of their own filled with family and friends. 

elevated a76e1 Antonio is known as a man of few words, a gentle and a compassionate soul with an eager spark of joy in his eyes. He taught us the importance of family, hard work and doing what is right.

elevated a76e1 Antonio truly lived life to the fullest through simple pleasures, chatting with friends and family, snacking on sweet and savoury delicacies, and spending time with his grandchildren. In his free time, he was an avid gardener who enjoyed the fruits of his labour, a “buongiustaio” with a love for all that is sweet, a sharp-eyed card player with a mind like a steel trap and a quick-witted conversationalist who always listened more than he spoke.

elevated a76e1 He will be lovingly remembered in the hearts of many nieces, nephews, family and friends.

elevated a76e1 We are sincerely grateful to all who have given us support and comfort during this time of loss.
