Giuseppe Filato

Giuseppe Filato

June 15, 1941 - April 3, 2017

It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of our beloved Giuseppe Filato. Following a courageous 7-year battle with oesophageal cancer, he passed away peacefully on April 3rd surrounded by his loving family. He is mourned by his wife Franca Polifroni, sons Michael (Francesca Pagnotta), Peter & Pasquale (Nathalie Béland), and grandchildren Giulia, Vittoria, Joey & Giuliano. He was also loved by his brothers the late Michele, Peter, sister Carmela, as well as brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law and many nieces and nephews. He could not have fought this valiant battle without his undying faith, spirited perseverance and the tireless efforts of Dr. Lorenzo Ferri and the entire Montreal General Hospital staff.  He had hoped to find a cure for this disease that had taken so much from him and in light of this, a donation may be made to Dr. Ferri’s thoracic surgery fund at the Montreal General Hospital.

The funeral will take place on April 10, 2017 at 3:00 PM at Mont Carmel Church (7645 rue Du Mans, St-Léonard, QC H1S 2A1) followed by burial at Notre Dame Des Neiges cemetery (4601 Côte-des-Neiges Road Montreal, Qc, H3V 1E7)
