Gennaro Mascia

1934 - 2024

It is with great sadness and a heavy heart that we announce the passing of Gennaro Mascia, who passed peacefully, surrounded by his family at the age of 90.

Gennaro was born in Campobasso, Italy, and immigrated to Canada, settling in Montreal. There, he married Assunta and together they raised their three children. He spent many years as a mechanic at CN, but  was better known as "Jack of all trades". Among his passions were gardening, his love of dogs, and, most importantly, his deep love for his family and friends.

Beloved husband of Assunta Castello for 65 years, and loving father of Giuseppe, Maria Filomena (Theodore Dranias), and Franco. Adored Nonno of Peter (Deeva Bowry), Michael, Evan, and Gennaro, who were his pride and joy.

Predeceased by his brothers Luigi, Giulio (Jeannine), Donato, and brothers-in-law Giuseppe Agostinelli, and Michele Bufo. He will be deeply missed by his sister Giovannina, and sisters-in-law Anna, Solange, and Concetta. Gennaro is loved by his nephews, nieces, great-nephews, great-nieces, extended relatives, and friends.

Gennaro's legacy of love, kindness, hard work, and dedication will forever remain in the hearts of all who knew him.

Thank you to the staff at Saint Mary’s Hospital for their care and support. Finally, the family sends a heartfelt thank you to his at home care team, Cynthia, Eden, and Leslie, who cared for him like the king that he was to us all.

In lieu of flowers, the family encourages you to make donations to Saint Mary Hospital, or a charity of your choice.

Visitations will be held at Kane & Fetterly's funeral home on Monday August 5th, 2024 from 3:00PM to 5:00PM and 7:00PM to 9:00PM followed by a service Tuesday August 6th, 2024 at 12:30PM at St. Catherine-de-Sienne Church. Valet parking will be available for the visitations.
