Enrico passed away peacefully at the age of 61 on December 23, 2022. Beloved husband of Rosetta Patafie. Loving father of John-Joseph (Alyssa), Matthew and Maria. Little brother of Joe (Michelle). Dear son-in-law of Giovanni & Franca Falbo and brother-in-law of Franco (Kim) Falbo. Fondly remembered by his niece Jenna (Luca) & nephew Johnathan. Predeceased by his parents Maria and Giuseppe Patafie and by his half-brothers and sisters Frank (Bea), Antonio (Teresa), Carmelo (Christine), Dominic (Dorothy), Nanda (Tony), Vincenzo (Nora), Mary and Mike. Survived by his half-sister Lina (Lionel). He will be greatly missed by his many nieces, nephews and dear friends. Enrico had a heart of gold, never forgot anyone’s birthday, talked to every neighbour and never missed an opportunity to tell his family he loved them. Enrico definitely made the world a better place and will never be replaced.
