CAMILLI, Giuseppe ‘Peppie’
Marion Bridge May 29, 1959 – June 19, 2021 On Saturday June 19, 2021 Heaven received a very special Angel. It is with a broken heart that we announce the passing of my beloved husband Joe Camilli after a courageous battle with cancer at the age of 62. Born in Sydney, he was affectionately known to most as Peppie, the beloved son of Angelo and Giuseppina Camilli. He was a devoted husband of 30 years to his loving wife Vivian. Joe was an amazing husband, son, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother, uncle, nephew, cousin and friend and will be dearly missed by all who knew him. He was a master
of many trades and the work he provided was second to none. He established a company called Empire Concrete and he began to build his Empire by working tirelessly.
He took exceptional pride in his workmanship and his many talents went above and beyond. This could clearly be seen in the fine detail of the many homes he built over the years especially his home on the Mira. Family meant
the world to Joe, he gave his all to those he loved, lending a helping hand, guidance
and wise words and never asked for anything in return. He was a man that made every occasion extra special, making it a point to visit a different part of the world each year creating many beautiful memories to treasure. Besides his wife, Vivian and parents, Angelo and Giuseppina, Joe is survived by his children, Pamela
(Richard), Michael, Richard (Jessica) and Joey (Karen); grandchildren, Ashley, Andrew (Daniesha), Austin, Zayin, Atlas, Nicole and Samantha; great-grandchildren, Romeo, Jackson,
Damian, Wolf and Baby; brother, Italo (Jeannie); sisters, Joanne (Brian) Rankin, Gabriela (KJ) MacDonald; sister-in-law, Joannie (Ed) Poore, and brother-in-law, George Leatham; godparents, Leandro and Adriana D’Addario, and goddaughters, Pia Camilli and Angela Camilli; aunts and uncles who he treasured dearly in Sydney and Ontario, as well as many nieces, nephews, great-nieces, great-nephews,
cousins and special friends throughout Nova Scotia, Ontario, United States, Italy and Scotland. He was predeceased by his dear grandparents, Giuseppe and Maria Grazia Camilli, and Giovanni and Ida DiSano; his mother and father-in-law, David and Georgina Leatham; as well as his great-aunt and uncle in Sydney, and special aunts in Ontario and Italy. Visitation will be held on Wednesday, June 23, 2021 from 6-9 p.m. at TW Curry Parkview Chapel. Due to Covid, a private Funeral Mass will be
held at Holy Redeemer Church. The Funeral service will be live streamed and may be viewed on TW Curry’s Facebook page starting at 10 a.m. on Thursday, June 24. Interment will take place in Resurrection Cemetery. Memories and condolences may be shared with
