Elmo Trasolini Obituary
TRASOLINI Elmo Stanley In the early hours of Monday, September 28, 2009, Elmo Stanley Trasolini passed away in this 87th year with his family by his side. He was predeceased by his parents Louis and Rosa Trasolini, his brothers Norman and Sal and his sisters Tosca and Fulvia. He is survived by his loving wife, Freda, his son Austin (Terri), his daughter Mary, granddaughters Deana, Diana and Jacquelyn, stepchildren Todd, Diane and Leslie and their families. Elmo was born and raised in Vancouver. When the war came along he volunteered for service and became a proud member of the Princess Patricia Canadian Light Infantry. He participated in many campaigns in Italy including the battle for Ortona and then on to Rome. Following, he was involved in the liberation of Holland. He served with the occupational army until his return home in 1945. Elmo was employed at the Waterworks Department for the City of Vancouver for 33 years. He was a Boy Scout Leader for many years and bowled with the City League. As an avid sportsman, he spent time at his cabin in the Chilcotins fishing and hunting. Later he traded in this sporting gear for golf clubs, dividing his time between the Delta Golf Club and the Tri Palm Golf Club in Thousand Palms, California. A Celebration of Life will be held at 2 p.m. Friday, October 2nd at the Newlands Golf and Country Club - 21025 - 48th Ave., Langley. No flowers by request.

Hello Austin and family, saddened to hear of Elmo's passing-what a long and wonderful life he had. My mom and dad, Ruth and Herb Ellis were long-time friends of Norm and Grace. Elmo came out hunting ducks and pheasants on Westham Island when he and Norm had a hunting cabin there. We have fond memories of those days and just wanted to express our sympathy in your loss.

Those we love remain with us
For love itself lives on,
And cherished memories never fade
Because a loved one's gone.
Those we love can never be
More than a thought apart,
Far as long as there is memory,
They'll live on in the heart.
We were so saddened to hear of Elmo's passing. We send our deepest sympathies and our thoughts and prayers are with Elmo's family and Freda.
