Sending our sincere condolences to Filippo's family and friends. Our encounter with him was brief: we purchased a home in his neighbourhood in the summer of 2021. He came over one day to introduce himself, and we had a great chat about his life. He gave our 18 month old daughter a cookie one day (which she still remembers!) and he shared with us the most delicious tomatoes! He spoke lovingly about his family and his partner, Valerie. We will always think of him kindly when we see his home across the street. May he rest in peace.

On behalf of my mother Agnes and the rest of the Marquis family, sending our heart felt condolences to Mr. Rocca's family. He was a friend of my father Henry as well as my late uncle Robert (Bob). I know from personal experience what a hard working person he was because back in the day he gave me one of my favourite summer jobs, working in construction. At the end of the summer he generously gave me a bonus. Mr. Rocca also provided amazing home-made wine to my parents (and a few bottles may have been sampled by the young people in the house). I have many fond memories of Mr. Rocca and of his son Tony, may they rest in peace.

Sincere condolences to the family. We at Key industries got to know Phillipo, he would drop in from time to time after Tony past he took that really hard and wanted to donate and build a gazebo in memory of Tony. The gazebo was moved to our new location and is still being used on a daily basis. Phillipo would drop by to say hi to everyone and would give us pointers on our gardening. His kindness and positive outlook on life will be greatly missed by everyone who met him at Key Industries.
