IACOCCA, Diodoro

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved husband, father, brother, uncle and nonno. He passed away peacefully surrounded by the love of his family on February 24th, 2021, in his 86th year. Diodoro is survived by his devoted wife of 58 years, Carmela (nee Decorso). Loving father to Tony (Gail) and Maria (Brent). Adored by his grandchildren Jennifer, Michael, Daniel, Emily, Mackenzie, Sophia, Ava and David. Predeceased by his granddaughter Alexandra. He is survived by his siblings Frank and Carmela (Guelph), Giovanni, Maria, Magolata, Angelina and Teresa (San Marco Di Cavoti, Italy)- as well as many nieces and nephews.

Diodoro and Carmela immigrated to Canada in 1965 from San Marco Di Cavoti, Italy. Diodoro's love for his hometown was evident by his frequent trips to Italy. Diodoro lived a full life, marked by his work ethic, passions for golf, gardening, and
Serie A soccer.
