Nicola SIENNA

1927 - 2020

It is with great sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of our dear husband, father and nonno, Nicola (Nick) Sienna, in his 94th year. Beloved husband of Luciana (nee Pagnotti) for 58 years. Loving father of Nancy (Peter), Patricia (Marco) and Marco (Donna). Cherished nonno of Jasmine, Francesco, Simon, Gianluca, Nicholas, Joshua, Adam, Elizabeth and Isaiah. We are comforted to know that Nick has been reunited with his first-born child Stefania (1963). Nick leaves behind his loving sisters Maria Pierini (late Giuseppe), Santa Mariani (late Paul) and Antonietta Taormina (John). He is predeceased by his sisters Anna Barzotti (late Camillo), Addolorata Casimirri (late Guido), Loreta Luzi (late Angelo) and Domenica Merlo (late John) and his brothers Father Gabriele Sienna, Vincenzo Sienna (late Angela), Giuseppe Sienna (Anita), and Francesco Sienna (Dolores). Nick cherished his in-laws as much as his own siblings; the late Teresa Pagnotti, the late Ida Corvaro (late Renato), the late Pietro Pagnotti (Annunziata), Maria Giammaria (late Primiano) and the late Lidiana Marcozzi (late Luigino). He will be missed by many nieces, nephews, great-nieces, great-nephews and family friends. Nick was born in San Andrea, Abruzzo, Italy in 1927 to Bartolomeo and Filomena (Luzi) Sienna and immigrated to Canada in his twenties. Nick worked at Dominion Stores as a butcher for many years. He was a hard worker whose main focus in life was to provide a good life for his family. Nick was loved by all and was always the first to show up when anyone needed help or support. He enjoyed spending time in his garden, trips to Florida and he was known for his porchetta. His greatest joy in his life was his grandchildren. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
