Obituary of Renaldo Tronchin

Tronchin, Renaldo (Ray) With broken hearts we announce the passing of our beloved husband, dearly loved father and Nonno. Devoted husband of 62 years to Evelyn. Loving father to Maria and Vladio (Giampuzzi) and David and Sabrina. Doting Nonno to Alexa, Adam and Sebastien. Also known as Nonno Ray to Amanda, Alicia and Joselyn. Survived by his sister Val and many nieces and nephews and predeceased by his parents Vittorio and Anita, brother Armand, and sisters, Marcelina, Malvina, Adeline, Eileen and Lena. Predeceased by his in-laws Isidoro and Maria Marcocchio and brother-in-law Tom Marcocchio. Survived by loving sister-in-law Linda Kennedy. Uncle Ray to Mary Catherine Kolody (Ray) and Michael Kennedy (Rachel). He will be missed by many life-long friends and fishing buddies. Renaldo was retired from Canadian Salt where he worked for 43 ½ years. Very active until the end; he enjoyed his retirement for more than 30 years. He took great pride in his garden, his wine, his BBQ sauce, and was widely known as the “Pickle King of Curry Avenue.” Evelyn and Renaldo took joy in attending all three of their grandchildren’s hockey games and enjoyed traveling and spending time with their family. Renaldo was an avid golfer with the League of Nations and Italian Invitational, and was a bowler for over 30 years. He rarely missed a Toronto Maple Leafs, a Detroit Lions, or Toronto Blue Jays game. He was a true fisherman, enjoyed catching fish and sharing his catch with those he loved. A special thank you to Dr. Sam MacDonald (you were so good to him), Dr. Wasim Saad and the nurses on the fourth floor at Windsor Regional Hospital Metropolitan campus for their exceptional care.
