In memory of

Joseph Chiavatti

April 5, 1933 - May 14, 2019

Joseph Chiavatti
April 5, 1933 – May 14, 2019

After a brief illness, Joseph Chiavatti passed away leaving us his legacy of positive mentorship and leadership. Loving husband to Margaret for 58 years (Kennedy, predeceased) Joseph was extremely proud of his daughters Kathy (Rene) Janet (Kevin) and Jill (Grant). He took overwhelming pride in the accomplishments and growth of his grandchildren Jennifer, Julia, Scott, Lauren, Leigh and Max.

Joseph lived a dynamic life building his first home at age 16 and continuing to develop properties in residential, commercial and industrial ventures. He was a visionary and an entrepreneur working hard until the week before his passing.

Joseph helped countless people over the years and touched the lives of many people in both business and personal matters. His antique car collection brought the family many hours of collective fun and joy.

Joseph was our hero and our role model. He showed us how to live a life filled with integrity and passion.

Jill. So sorry to hear about the passing of your Dad. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your sisters during this tough time. I lost my Dad just over a year ago and I think about him everyday.

So sad, to read this. I “grew” up with Joe in East York...the Drive Grill. Coincidentally we became neighbours in Bridlewood, with our children. He was a loving, attentive friend to my Dad.

I remember Joe well as a friend of my husband's in the EYCI days and as a builder in the fifties. I taught school with Anne Kennedy his mother-in-law. He and Margaret were a lovely couple.
Wonderful memories will support the family as you move on.

Kathy, Janet, Jill and Family,
We are so sorry to hear of the passing of your Dad. . There was no Father that loved his family more. I will always remember the day your family moved to Bridlewood because that's the day we met lifetime friends. He will be greatly missed and will remain in our hearts forever. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
