So sorry to hear that Fermo is no longer with us. Don't know how we were not aware in December that he was taken. We are in Florida and just got the news from mutual friends. I (Jane) worked with Fermo for many years and he was such a great guy with a great sense of humour. He will be missed but never forgotten.

Bev & Family ...I just heard today my sincere condolences ..I enjoyed many many years of bowling with Fermo he was a lot of fun to have around.

So sad to learn that dear Fermo is no longer with us. We had such great fun on his many trips to the Caribbean in the late 1990s. He was widely respected for his hard work, dedication and humour. A true stalwart of the international Customs family. Sincere condolences.

Beverly and family

For the short time we were neighbors with Furmo, he was always smiling whenever we would see him. That is how we will remember him. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Stefanelli family.

Dear Bev and Family,
Please except my deepest condolences on the loss of Fermo. I knew him through management consulting work in a national security environment. He was highly intelligent and very hard working in O&M and Policy fields. He was positive, helpful and humorous, always. He spoke lovingly of his wife and family. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him.

On behalf of my children and I we thank you all for your kind words and wonderful comments. They are very touching. We will all miss him very much.

Dana, our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time. We send out deepest condolences.

Steve Strong....I will never ever forget any of our wrestling matches. Another legend taken before his time. Rest in peace, Mr. Stefanelli.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

To the Stefanelli family. I never had the pleasure of meeting Fermo, but I know him thanks to many conversations with Dana,my thoughts are with you.

Just found out today. We had a lot of great times together, a real great friend. Love to the family, and strength during these most difficult times.
He will always be remembered for the great man and friend he was.

My deepest sympathies to the Stefanelli family. I remember Fermo from the '60s growing up in Alta Vista, and Ridgemont High School. I met up with Fermo after he retired and was doing some contract work. We had a chance to be nostalgic and talk about those times and the people we knew. I hope a lifetime of loving memories will sustain you through this difficult time.

We were deeply saddened to learn of Fermo's passing. We offer our sincerest condolences to Bev and the family.

Fermo Stefanelli was one of the senior instructors at the first Karate school I joined in Ottawa back in 1991. I knew him as a man of kindness, wit, integrity and dedication to high standards in martial arts. "Sensei" Fermo exerted a positive influence on all his students and colleagues. We still relate accounts of his impressive technical feats to new students. I am proud to have known him.

Morgan Duchesney

A wonderful human, neighbor and car pooler. Sincere condolences for your loss.

I am saddened to hear of Fermo's passing. He was my first boss at CCRA and gave me a solid foundation on which my career has built on over the years. He was an innovator and had a knack for thinking outside the box. He always spoke fondly of his children. May your memories help you through this difficult time. Rest in peace Fermo.

I had the pleasure or working with Fermo on a secondment to PSEPC shortly after his retirement. Solid, professional and a quick wit. He spoke endlessly about his family and we became fast friends. I will miss him. Gone too soon.

Dear Bev, Steve, Mike, Dana and family,
Our deepest sympathy goes out to you all. I know how hard he fought to be with you, especially Ava & Bella.
Cherish all the memories, good times in Richmond and at the lake, Karate, playing the drums. etc.
