Obituary of Angelo La Selva

LA SELVA, Angelo - Passed away peacefully, surrounded by his family, at the St. Catharines General Hospital on Saturday February 19, 2011 at the age of 90. Beloved husband of Chiarina and supportive father of Cori (Frank), Fred and Samuel. Special nonno of Sandra (Todd), Laura (Ian) and Linda (Erik), and great nonno to Sasha, Rhys and Theodore. Also left to mourn his passing are his special brother-in-law Gino and Anna Frado, and Richetta Fratangelo. In 1952, with optimism and spirit, Angelo immigrated to Canada from Castellino del Biferno, Campobasso and was joined by his wife and family one year later. He was a foreman at Lincoln Canning Company for many years and ended his trade at Foster Wheeler. Throughout his life and especially in his retirement he enjoyed the love of gardening and sharing with others his wine and rustic food. In his last years he tended a garden that would have exhausted a young man†�nourishing his family with food that he had cultivated with love. Angelo was a founding contributor of Club Roma, member and past president of the Italian Catholic Centre Gruppo Pensionati, and member of St. Alfred†™s Church. Family and friends will be received at the GEORGE DARTE FUNERAL CHAPEL, 585 Carlton Street on Tuesday February 22 from 2-4 and 7-9 p.m. Funeral Liturgy will be celebrated at St. Alfred's Church on Wednesday at 11 a.m. with entombment to follow at Victoria Lawn Cemetery.
