Bittante – Giovanni
Our beloved father, nonno and bisnonno Giovanni Bittante passed away peacefully on
December 31, 2024 at the age of 91. Giovanni was born in Rosa’, Vicenza, Italy on March 13,
1933. He immigrated to Canada in 1957 and was followed by his wife Caterina (Luana). They
were married in 1958 and built a life together in Vancouver where they enjoyed many happy
years together. Left to mourn are children Annamaria (Nino) and Diego (Janice), grandchildren
Melissa (Mark), Amanda (Joshua), Anthony, Hannah and Luca and great granddaughters Delilah,
Kyla and Jessa. As well as his sister Adriana and many extended family members in Italy. Nonno
G will be remembered for his courage, faith and hard work. He loved the outdoors, foraging for
wild mushrooms and his wine. May he rest in peace and may all the wonderful memories be a
comfort to all who knew him. The family wishes to thank the wonderful staff at Chenchenstway
Care Home for their kindness and loving care for the past 7 months. A funeral mass will be
celebrated on Saturday January 18 at 11:00am at St. Francis of Assisi Church, 2025 Napier
Street, Vancouver, B.C. A private entombment at a later date. In lieu of flowers, a donation to his long
