He was employed at the University of Manitoba for 30 years. He was a devoted father, husband, brother, uncle, cousin and friend.

Time passes fast for all of us and I was just checking some photos of our ancestral town of Acquaro when I saw the photo of Nino Filleti who was a great friend and our families were close together. I knew him since I was a young boy and then I saw him again while I was for a short time at Winnipeg, Canada in the early 70s. What a shock to know that he passed away in 2006. My deepest sympathy to his family and relatives. In Acquaro I was know as "Ninetto" (Little Nino) and my grandfather was Don Bartolo Rositani! - Posted by: Antonino Angileri (Nipote di Don Bartolo Rositani) (Friend ) on: Feb 20, 2013
