With heavy hearts and profound sadness we announce the passing of our dear husband, father and nonno. Emidio passed away peacefully with his family by his side on Tuesday, December 7, 2021, at the age of 87. He will be dearly missed and forever remembered by his wife Irma (nee Nardini) for more than 63 years. Loving father of Enrico (Sandra) and Lisa (Phil) Palermo. Most adored nonno of Lucas, Matthew, Giuseppe, and Mattia. Dear brother-in-law to the late Cesare and Giuseppina Nardini, the late Angela and Vincenzo Sienna, the late Rita and Pancrazio Peroni, the late Onorina and Adornino Caterini, Stella and the late Battista Nardini, Serafina and the late Cesare Canci, Assunta and Carmine DiBartolomeo, Antonia and the late Harry Burke, Mary and the late Felix Nardini. Dear brother to the late Gabriele Tirabassi and his family with whom he began his life in Canada. Emidio will be forever missed by his brothers and sisters, nieces, nephews and cousins in Italy. Also fondly remembered by many nieces, nephews and friends in Canada and his caring and loyal neighbours for whom Emidio has always been grateful. Emidio was a loyal and hardworking custodian for the Hamilton Wentworth Catholic District School Board for more than 30 years. He was much loved by staff and students. He always took pride in and enjoyed his work and made many friendships over the years.
