GRAZIELLA MONTEMURRO April 29, 1934 — May 12, 2021

She was a talented seamstress and soon found work in Toronto’s garment district. She married Ralph on Dec. 28, 1957, and devoted herself to family life and motherhood. Though she often said she could only cook “frencha fries” when she first married, she quickly became an amazing cook, and her pizzas and calzones were legendary. Graziella adored her family deeply. Her contagious laughter, love of Italian music, warm hospitalit­y, jovial spirit, and strong faith will be greatly missed by all.

Our family is profoundly grateful for those special people who ensured that Mike always had a friend to walk, cycle or debate with.

His wit and boldness will be shared and smiled upon in reflection amongst his lifelong friends.
