Joseph (Giuseppe) Ciffolillo

It is with heavy hearts we announce the sudden passing of Joseph (Giuseppe) Ciffolillo on November 16 at the age of 81. He is predeceased by his beloved wife Dianne. A proud and devoted father to his daughters Melinda and Lisa, and granddaughters Brianna and Kailyn.

He is survived by his siblings Gaetano, Carmen and Maria and now joins his brother Dominec and sister Anna in eternal peace.

Joseph was born in Vasto, Italy and immigrated to Canada with his father Diego in 1958. He was married in 1970 and worked hard to provide a stable and loving home for his family. He joined Trade Electric (later to become Sesco) in 1978 where he continued to work until the end of his life. He was a quiet man with a heart of gold and infinite wisdom. He firmly believed that if you are good to people, they will be good to you. He demonstrated patience, loyalty, love, integrity and a work ethic that was appreciated by those that knew him. He had many talents and you would often find him in his garage building something, or in his garden growing vegetables or watering his flowers.

He will be incredibly missed by those that loved him especially his children, grandchildren, siblings, cousins, his many nieces and nephews, and his incredible coworkers.

We take comfort knowing he has joined our mother exactly 9 months after her passing and truly believe he died from a broken heart.

Our hearts are broken, until we meet again dad. We love you
