Bruno Ziraldo was born in Fagagna, Italy. The youngest of nine. A passionate man who loved his wife – Elida – children, family and friends.
He delighted in a lively discussion on life, and politics. He sang, laughed, played cards, was meticulous at his work – a stone mason, loved tending to his vegetable garden, fruit trees, and shared the fruits of his labour.
Bruno cherished his relationship with his brother Luigi, his senior by 2 decades. Luigi made his way to Canada first, then Bruno followed, landing at Pier 21 in Halifax. From there he made his way to Toronto.; Elida followed. They settled in Toronto, and had 3 children; Marguerita, Lorena (born in Udine), and Paolo. His grandson Christopher (Lorena) put a sparkle in his eye.
His warmth, and energy was the glue to many relationships. Deeply missed.
