MARIO DI PIETRO April 21, 1937 - August 20, 2012 Peacefully, on August 20, 2012, Mario Di Pietro passed away with his family by his side. Mario was predeceased by his parents Angelo and Lia Di Pietro.

Mario was born in Scanno, Italy on April 21, 1937. He immigrated to Winnipeg in 1958, after living and working in post-war France. Mario married his soul mate Angela in 1961. Mario embraced his new home and life in Canada and took pride in providing for his family both here and abroad. His legacy lives in the lives he touched with the work he did as a tradesman, as Nonno, father, husband, friend and neighbour. The family wishes to thank all those who supported Dad and our families during this period of our lives. We appreciate the care given to Dad by Dr. Ball, Dr. Park, Dr. Daeninck and the numerous staff on the Palliative Care Ward of the St. Boniface Hospital.

I am so sorry for your loss. When I think of the good things I experienced out in St. Laurent I think of the times of interaction with Mario. He was a gentle soul with a heart of gold. Everything he touched was done with pride and love. He will be missed. Take care Maureen - Posted by: maureen maccoy (acquaintance known from st . laurent. next door .) on: Aug 24, 2012

My dearest condolences to the DI PIETRO family in the loss of Mario. I knew him from the lake in St. Laurent. He was a good man and will be missed deeply. He's in a good place probably watching over the gardens for God as he did at the lake. Rest in peace Mario until we all meet again. - Posted by: shanon (neighbor from the lake) on: Aug 24, 2012
