Muzzi of California. Predeceased by his parents Bruno and Assunta Muzzi,

'Milio, Dad, Papa, Daddy, Nonno, Mel, Emilio'. No matter what you called
Vincenzo Emilio Muzzi, we all knew him as an extremely generous and caring
man. His religion played an important part in his life and that
underpinned how he lived his life. Whether you were part of his family,
circle of friends or one of his many clients over his 60 years of being
'Emilio the Barber' he was loved and respected. As an Italian immigrant
with only his suitcase to his name, he leaves a legacy of honest hard
work, showing kindness to others and loving memories.
Emilio had a humorous side, a quiet side, a feisty side and a loving side.
He would be the first to share anything he had without hesitation. In the
spring and summer, you could find him gardening and sitting by the cherry
tree enjoying the birds and nature with is dog Kraemer by his side. In the
fall, he was a master wine maker and spent hours ensuring the grapes
matured to perfection. Nothing gave him more pleasure than sharing a good
glass of vino with those he loved and cared for. The winter was time for
watching hockey and cheering on his beloved Leafs, no matter what!
Most of all, we will remember Emilio as a man who put his family first. He
lived his life to ensure that we were all taken care of and loved. He
married his childhood sweetheart Raffaela and together they are the
foundation of three grown children, five grandchildren, four extended
grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. Above all else, this is what
mattered to Emilio. We will miss you and our memories will carry us
through until we meet again.
