Fausto Di Vito Obituary

Fausto Di Vito, of Port Alberni, BC, passed away peacefully on Monday, January 23, 2017. Born in Carpineto Sinello, Italy in 1931, Fausto immigrated to Trail, BC in 1951 to live with his Zia Irma and cousins Anna, Mike, Lola and Norma. He is predeceased by his parents, Amedeo and Ilia, and his brother Michele. Fausto is survived by his wife Alice, daughter Lisa (partner Robert King), daughter Marisa (husband Larry Young), his beloved grandson Anthony Amedeo Young, and his sister Lina Racano (husband Tonino Rocano) of Vasto, Italy, and extended family in both Italy and throughout BC.

Fausto moved to Port Alberni, BC, in 1956, where he met Alice. he is remembered for his active membership with the Italian Canadian Fraternal Society since its inception, including serving a term as president. He made the best wine in the world and was the most awesome gardener. He loved his job as a longshoreman and often talked about how he missed "the guys" after he had retired.

A celebration will be held on Sunday, January 29, at the Italian Hall, 4065 6th Avenue, Port Alberni, from 1pm to 5pm. The family has requested no flowers please.

Dear Auntie Alice, Marisa and Family, and Lisa and Family: we were so very saddened to hear about the passing of Zio Fausto. We have very fond memories of him. We will always remember the conversations he had with us while we were growing up... every time he dropped over to the house. He always took the time to talk to all three of us girls - not just to visit with Mom and Dad. He had an infectious laugh and a wonderful sense of humor. Very rarely did we ever see him without a smile on his face. We had the honor of him being present at our weddings, and being there for our family throughout sad times with the passing of Nonno and Nonna, and our Mother Louise. Our thoughts and prayers are with you, and the memories of Zio Fausto will always be cherished. I imagine Mom and Fausto are sharing a glass of wine in Heaven about now...Salute!!

I will cherish the visits where he always served a wonderful glass of wine while insisting he be updated on what was happening in my life. He treated me like a daughter..lucky me...and he approved of Doug which makes me smile. Warm Hugs Alice, Lisa, Robert Marisa, Larry, Anthony. Love you forever Fausto, D&D xo
