Addio al`ex presidente del Terelle Vincenzo Grossi

Vincenzo Grossi

It is with sadness that I inform you that Vincenzo Grossi passed away on Sunday March 15, 2026 at the age of 79.

Vince was a supporter of the Terelle Social Club, especially in the early years when he was most active.  He was elected  president in both 1981 and 1982.  He and a few others with the help of Father Guglielmo Corbo were instrumental in finding a permanent home for the statue of S. Egidio Abate moving it from its temporary location in the basement of the church of S. Nicola, on St. Clair, to its niche at S. Filippo Neri.  For that, and all his other efforts, the Terelle Social Club is most grateful.

 

Vincenzo e’ stato un sostenitore del Terelle Social Club, specialmente attivo negli anni 70 ed 80.  Lui e’ stato eletto presidente del club nell’81 e nell’82.  Con un paio d’altri membri e l’aiuto di Padre Guglielmo Corbo e’ stato chiave nella sistemazione della statua di S. Egidio Abate con padre Guglielmo Corbo.  Essa si trovava nel suo sito temporaneo nello scantinato della chiesa di S. Nicola, a St. Clair.  Essi sono riusciti a trasferirla nella sua nicchia attuale e permanente presso la chiesa di S. Filippo Neri. Per questo, e i suoi tanti altri sforzi, il Terelle Social Club ne e’ molto grato e riconoscente.

 

Deepest Condolences to the Grossi family. Vincenzo will be dearly missed.
Please keep Vincenzo and the Grossi family in your prayers at this difficult time.
“Eternal rest grant unto Vincenzo O Lord and let perpetual light shine upon him.  
May Vincenzo Rest in Peace. Amen”
                          Vincenzo Grossi                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           July 18, 1946 – March 15, 2026
It is with deep sadness and loving remembrance that we announce the passing of Vincenzo Grossi, on March 15, 2026 at the age of 79. He was born in Terelle, Frosinone, Italy, July 18, 1946 from Maria Giovanna Tari and Benedetto Grossi.
He was a devoted husband to Amelia Grossi whom he loved deeply, sharing a lifetime of companionship, laughter, and unwavering support. Together they built a beautiful life centred around family, love, and countless memories.
He was a proud and dedicated father to his two children Angie (Sandro), Ben (JolyAnn) and a cherished grandfather to Brandon, Ethan, Richtoon and Carlos. He will be missed by his loving brother Rocco. Pre-deceased by his brothers Egidio, Antonio, Mario, Vincenzo. He was a treasured uncle to his many nieces and nephews. His family was always the centre of his world, and he took great pride in watching it grow.
A man with a true love for life, he enjoyed traveling and exploring the world. Whether visiting new places or returning to familiar favourites, he embraced every journey with curiosity and enthusiasm. He especially loved the beach and spent many happy days by the water.
During the summer months, he could always be found at the cottage — a place he loved dearly. There he enjoyed bike riding, relaxing, and visiting with friends and family who often stopped by.
He had a sharp mind and a love for routine, rarely missing his daily crossword puzzles. Another of his favourite pastimes was watching soccer, passionately cheering for his beloved team, Juventus.
He will be remembered for his warmth, his love of family, his adventurous spirit, and the many friendships he built throughout his life. His presence will be deeply missed but forever cherished in the hearts of those who knew and loved him.
He leaves behind a lifetime of memories and a legacy of love that will continue through his family for generations.
Riposa in pace.
