Survived by one brother Giovanni (Rosalia) Bitonti of Italy. Dear Brother-in-law of Agostino Lopez and wife Gulietta. Dear Zio to many neices and nephews in Canada and in Italy.

He left Italy in 1958 to start a new life for his family here in Windsor where he worked for Chrysler Canada for over 25 years of service and was a member of CAW Local 444 and a member of the Giovanni Caboto Club. He loved his family dearly, his long walks, whistling, making wine, taking care of his garden, smiling, singing and dancing the night away. We love you so much Ninilou.
