With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Ugo Crozzoli, who died peacefully on October 24, 2024,
at the age of 91.
Loving husband of Giuliana, devoted father of Gabriel (Norma) and Carlo (Jennifer), and proud grandfather of Jessica, Matthew, Jonah, and Madeline. Beloved son of the late Riccardo Crozzoli and Maria Crozzoli (Toffoli), predeceased by brothers Gaspare (Beatrice, pre-deceased) and Eligio (Jeanne).
Born on August 22, 1933, in Azzano-Decimo, Pordenone, Italy, Ugo embarked on a journey that would shape his life and touch the lives of many others. Ugo immigrated to Canada in 1951, settling in Sudbury where he began a 40-year career at Inco, retiring in 1991. His dedication to his work was matched only by his devotion to his family and community. In 1960, Ugo married his beloved Giuliana in Sudbury, marking the beginning of 64 years of inseparable companionship. Their union was a testament to enduring love and partnership.
Ugo was a pillar of the Italian-Canadian community in Sudbury. He was a Lifetime member of the Caruso Club, where he and Giuliana spent much of their free time socializing and volunteering. He was also a proud member of the Sudbury Chapter of the Fogolar Furlan where he served in various executive roles. His passion for sports was recognized by his induction into the Sudbury Sports Hall of Fame for his contributions to the Italia Flyers soccer club, which reached the Canadian championships final in 1964.
In 2017, Ugo and Giuliana moved to Toronto to be closer to their children and grandchildren. At Casa Del Zotto senior's apartments, they embraced new friendships and actively participated in local social activities.
Ugo's life was characterized by hard work, community service, and unwavering devotion to his family. His legacy will continue to inspire all who knew him, and his memory will be cherished by those whose lives he touched.
