ALEXANDER MUZZO Obituary

MUZZO, ALEXANDER GERALD May 1952 - August 2021 It is with the heaviest of hearts that we announce the peaceful passing of our dear Alexander, at his home, surrounded by family. Beloved husband of 47 years to Gail, loving father to Eliot (Carm), Larissa (Gordon), Michael (Jenn), Olivia (Nathanael), devoted brother to Susan and an extraordinary Nonno to his cherished grandchildren, Alexander, Ava Marie, James, Tatiana, Maximillian, Alexia, Thomas, Evie, Estelle and Emme. He is reunited with his loving parents, the late Elio and Marie Muzzo. Young and in love, Alex married his high school sweetheart Gail in 1974 and shortly thereafter began creating his proudest achievement - his family. A giant among us, upon whose shoulders we've had the honour to rest upon, Alexander lived his life fully, unapologetically, and admirably. Family man, businessman and best friend to all who crossed his path. The sea of grief is deep and dark with the countless souls of people Alex has touched with his joy and zest for life. His life has been cut short, but few men have lived as largely as him. With an inexhaustible joie de vivre, Alex mastered the art of living and radiated that energy to all who surrounded him. A stabilizing presence whose life force we all gravitated toward, he is deeply loved and will be greatly missed. In our sadness, we will cherish and hold dear the laughter and camaraderie that Alex enriched our lives with. In lieu of flowers, donations in support of Dr. Kazuhiro Yasufuku's research in thoracic surgery at UHN Foundation would be appreciated by the family. Please visit UHNfoundation.ca/tribute or call 416-603-5300. Visitations will take place at the St. Clare of Assisi Roman Catholic Church (150 St. Francis Ave., Woodbridge) on Monday, August 30, 2021, from 1:00 - 5:30 p.m. While there are no capacity restrictions at St. Clare of Assisi Roman Catholic Church, we are mandated to continue contact tracing and kindly ask that you continue to register your name on our online RSVP link to minimize foot traffic when signing in upon your arrival at St. Clare of Assisi Roman Catholic Church.

I wish to extend our heartfelt condolences to the Muzzo family in this time of tremendous loss and grief. Over 30 years ago, I had the great pleasure of meeting Alex through my leadership at the Carpenter's Union. This prolific encounter spawned beyond the boardroom to a personal relationship that lasted a lifetime—a true testament to the values he embodied and the great love he had for all people. I will never forget his genuineness, his keen sense for business, and even greater heart for community and philanthropic initiatives he championed without any reservations. It is said that "The meaning of life is to find your gift, the purpose of life is to give it away." Alex not only found his meaning in life, but he lived his purpose and ensured he shared it with the world. We were privileged to know him, and he will be missed; our thoughts and prayers remain with you.

To all the Muzzo family
We were deeply saddened to hear of Alex' untimely illness and death.
He was a man highly respected throughout the construction industry, not only for his unrivaled business acumen and strength, but also for his humility and philanthropy. Alex will, above all, be admired for his dedication to his wife and family, which was always his first priority.
We regret that we are not able to pay our respects in person, but reserved spots were taken by the time we heard the news while visiting
Victoria. Our thoughts will be with you all.
Alex will be missed by many, but deservedly never forgotten...
Our sincere condolences,
Bruno and Kathy Mauro
