Obituary of Rocco Corio

It is with heavy hearts we announce the passing of our dear Husband, Father and Nonno Rocco Corio on August 24, 2023 with his loving family by his side. Loving husband and best friend to Caterina Corio of 57 years. Beloved father to Antoinette (Richard) Buchner, Maria Boughey and Grace (Jayson) Pynn. Cherished Nonno to Kayla, Andrew, Felicia, Joshua, Aubrey and Jack. Reunited with his parents, Antonio and Antonia. Predeceased by his brothers, Pete (Tina) and Albert (Rosa). Survived by his brother Joe (Nancy). He will be dearly missed by many nieces, nephews and close friends.

Rocco had a strong work ethic and was a valued employee at Windsor Packers and Weston Packers as a Butcher for 45 years. Rocco took pleasure in spending time with his grandchildren, who meant the world to him. Rocco’s hobbies included playing in a bowling league, dancing around to Italian music, making salami and wine. He could be found spending hours in his garden, which he took so much pride in.

His family will forever be grateful to the nurses and doctors on the sixth floor at Windsor Regional Hospital- Metropolitan Campus for their compassion and care for Rocco and his family.
