MARIO AMATUZIO
September 20, 1948 - September 4, 2020
Loving father, husband, brother, uncle, son, and friend, Mario will be missed by those who knew him. Predeceased by his mother Lucia in 1990 and father Salvatore ("Sam") in 2006, Mario is survived by his brother Domenic; former wife Susan; daughters, Nicole (Andrew) and Civita; and niece Jordan.
Mario was born in Bojano, Italy, and immigrated to Canada in 1952. Mario worked for Winnipeg Transit for 33 years and retired earlier this year. He will be remembered as a man of honesty and integrity, a hard worker, and a loving friend.
Family wish to extend a special thanks to the doctors, nurses, and staff at Riverview who were by Mario's side in his final months.
The family will host a Celebration of Life next year on September 4, 2021. Details to follow.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Mario's name to Wing 3 East of the Palliative Care Unit at Riverview Health Centre, 1 Morley Avenue, Winnipeg MB, R3L 2P4, (204) 478-6136.

Sending all the warmth and condolences to the family and friends of this sweet and kind hearted man. I had the pleasure of working with him years ago at the Free Press Cafe - he always made sure I had a way to get safely home, was happy to help with any problem, offer a helping hand or just share a drink and talk. It was truly a pleasure to get to work with Mario and meet his family. Thank you, Mario, for your kindness & generosity. Sending so much love to your family in this difficult time. - Posted by: Samantha (Former coworker - Free Press Cafe) on: Feb 06, 2021

Mario lived in the apartment block next to us and was one of the first people we met when we moved into the area. I will remember him as a kind, courteous and genuine person with a good heart. I will dearly miss the small chats we had and the ever ready smile he always had on his face. Dormi nella pace del signore, mio amico. Rest in Peace, my friend.
