Obituary for Tommaso Troccoli
TROCCOLI, Tommaso
Tommasso, or Tom, as everyone knew him, was surrounded by his wife. his youngest daughter and the lovely nurses at Royal Victoria Hospital in Barrie at the age of 54 on December 21, 2020. Unfortunately, we lost a very special man too soon. Loving husband to Sagit for 28 years. Cherished father to Carmelina, Vito, and Julia. Treasured brother to Lucy, and uncle to Anna and Shane. Son-in-Law to Ela Nimni. Brother-in-Law to Gil (Dana) and Gianfranco (Lucy). Nephew of Zia Rosa Demarco and Zia Rosa Racanelli. Godfather to Sofia and Alicia. Predeceased by his parents, Carmelina and Vito Troccoli.
Tom was born in Toronto, Ontario at Women's College Hospital on June 11, 1966. He married the love of his life, business partner, and best friend Sagit on May 16, 1992. As a second-generation Italian settler, he was a true-blue Italian-Canadian, who also embraced his wife and best friend's, Jewish and Israeli culture. A one-of-a-kind soul who loved making his wine every September with his son Vito. He was a loyal family man and friend and had never hesitated to help anyone with anything. His pride and joy were his family, his hardwood flooring business he had built up since he was 12 years old which will now be passed on to Vito, his only son, and lastly, his 70s music.
He loved playing his 70s music for all the neighbors to hear. His favorite song was "My Way" by Frank Sinatra. Everyone who crossed paths with Tom; growing up on Clinton Street, partying in Yorkville in the 80s or sanding and refinishing countless apartments in the city, knew him as a hilarious, hard-working, loyal, loving, kind, caring and giving individual.
Many thanks are extended to the doctors, nurses, and staff, for their exceptional care.
Visitation will be held at Bernardo Funeral Home (2960 Dufferin St., south of Lawrence Ave. W.) on Monday, December 28, 2020 from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. As the City of Toronto has moved into the more restricted ‘lockdown’ category during this pandemic, guests will now need to schedule and reserve their time to attend the visitation. Available on the Bernardo Funeral Home website (www.bernardofh.com) you can reserve time during the visitation to pay your respects. Face masks are mandatory and contact tracing information will be collected upon entering the building.
Due to the current COVID-19 Pandemic, the family will be having a Private Funeral service and Entombment.
