Zosimo was born on August 11, 1948 in Cavite, Philippines. He immigrated to Canada in 1973. Zosimo was a very active, energetic and cheerful man. He was kind, generous and always was concerned for other people. He was someone you could depend on anytime of day - just say the time and place and he will be there for you. He could also be described as a "Jack of all trades" always ready and willing to do and fix anything. Zosimo worked at Monarch Industries as a machine shop operator for 20 years. His hobbies included fishing, gardening, fixing cars, going to horse racing to name a few. He was very fond of kids and particularly enjoyed babysitting his grandchildren. His fondest wish was to build a fountain and playground in his backyard for his grandchildren to play had he only gotten better. The family wishes to thank the staff of the Health Sciences Centre who cared for him until his death. Special thanks to all who visited him in the hospital, to numerous friends and relatives who offered their continuous prayers and support through-out this difficult time.
