We were Luigi’s neighour over 10 years, he was a great man and happy person, and always had a great smile to everyone that he knew or he didn’t know, just like he planted a lot of beauliful flowers in his life, always happy! Gardening was one of the great loves of his life. We are appreciated for what he done on our garden. Thank you very much Luigi. We are sad because you passed away, but we gonna miss you forever! May his soul rest in Heaven.
Also, may God bless Luigi’s family!

Our condolences to the Osellame and extended families. My mom and dad go back a long ways from their roots in Volpago del Montello. My memories from when my mom and dad were alive were that of Luigi coming over and them comparing notes on radicchio grown in their gardens. Luigi was always happy. We can learn alot from that generation. I am sure that he will be planting a garden in heaven!

Dear Family Members of Luigi,
Please accept my condolences on the passing of Luigi. I live at St. Catherines and 40th Ave. across the street from his house. I tried to come to his funeral this morning but was unable to park.
I miss seeing Luigi gardening next door and his friendly and kind smile upon meeting a neighbour. His garden was beautiful! I feel fortunate to have known him and I will always remember him.
Sincerely,
Laurie Greenwood
