PAOLO SALVATORE CANNIZZARO January 1, 1932 - July 20, 2011 After a lengthy illness, Paolo Cannizzaro passed away at the St. Boniface General Hospital at the age of 79 years. Paolo is predeceased by his mother Maria Soccorsa, father Vincenzo and granddaughter Josephine. He leaves to mourn his loving wife Teresa of 62 years, along with their children Vincent (Shelley), Maria (Romeo), Cathy (Dino), Maryann (Derek), Domenica (Vito), Mike, Joey (Brandi), Nick (Teri); 20 grandchildren, five great-grandchildren; brothers Tony (Rosina), Joe (Maria); sister Teresa (Vince)Farina as well as numerous nieces and nephews. Paolo immigrated to Canada in 1958 from Monterosso, Italy. He worked for Shore Glass and then the City of Winnipeg until his retirement. He enjoyed spending time with his family cooking meals and gardening. We will miss Dad's kindness and stubborn ways, but most of all his humour, which he kept until the end. He was always making people laugh.
