GESUALDO CICCO January 17, 1924 - May 8, 2018 Sadly, after a lengthy illness, Gesualdo Cicco passed away on Tuesday, May 8, 2018, with his wife of 59 years at his side. Gesualdo was a gentle soul, full of faith, love and compassion. He had a heart of gold and placed great importance on helping those in need. His priority was always his family, as family values were at the core of his being. Gesualdo took on many important roles in the lives of others; loving son, brother, cousin, uncle, father and Nonno. Gesualdo was born on January 17, 1924 in San Mango D'Aquino, Provencia di Catanzano, Italy. Gesualdo grew up during The Depression and was relied upon as the eldest of five children. After serving in the army, he returned home and began an apprenticeship as a cobbler. In 1959, he married his wife Ivonne and shortly thereafter, immigrated to Canada in search of opportunity and better prospects for his family. When he arrived in Winnipeg MB, he acquired a job at Western Rawhide, where he worked until his retirement, after which he devoted the rest of his life to his family and grandchildren. He spent several years as a resident of Charleswood, where he enjoyed the company of wonderful neighbours. He is predeceased by his parents, Antonio and Maria; a brother Mario who passed away as an infant; and sisters, Saveria, Faustina and Albina. He is survived by his wife of 59 years, Ivonne; his daughter Maria; her children, Alyssa and Michael (Ashley); his sons, Vincenzo, and Tony Gesualdo; and will be remembered in Italy by several nieces and nephews and in Winnipeg, he will be remembered by brothers-in-law, Mario Gigliotti (Franca) and Joe Cianflone (Gesa). Our family would like to extend a warm thank you to CancerCare Manitoba, the Grace Hospital Fifth Floor North, and many thanks to Doctor Ip, who went above and beyond to provide care and compassion for our family. In addition, we would like to thank the Grace Hospital Third Floor South, and the palliative team for their compassionate care. We are also very appreciative of the excellent care from homecare providers. Condolences will be offered at 10:00 a.m. on Tuesday, May 15, 2018 at Holy Rosary Roman Catholic Church, 510 River Ave., Winnipeg, MB. Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 11:00 a.m., with Rev. Father Sam Argenziano presiding. A private entombment will follow the mass, at Chapel of Eternal Memories Mausoleum, 1501 Waverley St., Winnipeg, MB.
