Corado loved spending time with people- whether it be family celebrations, excursions to the farm, “hunting” trips with his buddies or coffee with friends. He worked for the City of Guelph for 42 years and often pointed out the many projects he worked on around the city. Corado was immensely proud of his New Waterford heritage and could spot a fellow Nova Scotian wherever he went. He enjoyed country music, John Wayne movies and calling people on their birthdays. To Corado, there were no strangers, only friends he had not yet invited home for lunch. His smile, wit, generosity and kindness will be lovingly remembered by many relatives and friends in Guelph, the East Coast, and beyond. Corado wrote in "his book" to "...live simply, love generously, care deeply, speak kindly and leave the rest to God. " To honour Corado's memory, donations to Royal City Mission Guelph would be appreciated (www.royalcitymission.ca)
