Obituary for Vincenzo Rosolino Barcellona
BARCELLONA: Vincenzo “Vince”, age 71 years, passed away on Monday, November 25, 2019 at Brandon Regional Health Centre.
Vince was born September 1, 1948 in Alia, Sicily, Italy and came to Canada in 1967. He met the love of his life, Wendy in 1969 and they married in 1973. Vince and Wendy raised their four children in Brandon while Vince also owned and operated Westman Masonry and Tile.
He was a member of the Italian Bowling Team and part of the Optimist Club of Brandon. Vince loved negotiating a good deal and was a lover of good food, good wine and good company. He enjoyed being a winemaker and loved to cook, especially his homemade sausage, bread, pasta sauce and pizza. Vince also loved to travel with his wife and kids. Vince was a hardworking, dedicated and loving husband, father and grandfather. He loved to entertain and be surrounded by his family; he especially enjoyed spending time with his grandchildren.
Vince will be sadly missed and lovingly remembered by his family including his loving wife Wendy; son Salvatore (Jodi) and grandchildren Vincenzo and Jackson; son Rob (Leanne) and grandchildren Gemma and Marco; son Brian (Teresa) and grandchildren Charlee, Bronx and Lincoln; daughter Michaela; brothers Castrenze (Vanda) Barcellona and Biagio (Anna) Barcellona; sisters Rosalia Barcellona-Gibiino and Anna Barcellona-Birzilleri; sisters-in-law Darlene (John) Van Mulligan, Ellen Preston, Rose Badham and families; brothers-in-law Calogero Zimbardo and Gaetano Zimbardo and families; and many nieces and nephews and their families across Canada and Italy.
