Giuseppe Gagliardi was born in Calabra Italy in 1932. He was the oldest of 5 children growing up in the province of cozenza pre and post war. In 1949 Giuseppe and his father travelled to Canada with hopes of finding opportunities and immigration for his entire family. Several years later he returned to italy to meet who would later become his wife, and our mom, Rosetta. After they married, they travelled back to Canada to start a family and life of their own.

Joe, as he was known, was so grateful for the opportunities Canada gave him.
He worked several jobs over his lifetime with a long career at at Snap on Tools.
Giuseppe is survived by his 4 children, Emily, Maria, Lina and Frank, 4 grand children, Nick, Samantha, Ethan, and Joseph and 1 great grand child, Anthony.

He will be greatly missed but many.

We love you, papa.
