LUIGI (LOUIE) D’AMBROSIO

D’AMBROSIO, LUIGI (LOUIE) Suddenly passed away due to cardiac arrest on Tuesday, December 8, 2020, at 9:15 a.m. at Southlake Hospital in Newmarket. Born May 16, 1946, in Bitritto, Bari , Italy. Louie was so loved by many. He was the Executive Chef for many years at St. Andrew’s College, in Aurora, Ontario and even after his retirement he continued to volunteer his time in the kitchen there.

He also devoted his time to CHATS in the Wellness Program providing hot lunches for seniors on a weekly basis. He was an avid animal lover, especially to his predeceased dogs Ebony, Ryanne, Ginger, Stella and now Olivia, who miss him and his “accidental” table droppings. Louie was a kind hearted man who always put others before himself. The love that he had for his family was unconditional and beyond words. Mary, his loving wife, has lost her best friend and soulmate.

They celebrated 51 years of marriage this past year. He will be sadly missed and forever loved. We will miss all the gatherings where Louie prepared all the food. Predeceased by his parents, Domenico and Angela and his siblings Ildebrando and Domenica. Survived by his wife Mary, his loving siblings Cesare (Lynda), Vince (Marilyn), Celestina (Gino), Vito (brother-in-law), Anna (sister-in-law). Devoted father of his loving son Domenic (Sandra). Adored Grandpa to his 5 grandsons, Luciano, Isaac, Samuel, Benjamin and Domenic Jr. Cherished great-grandfather to Emerson. Loved and missed by his Godchildren Brent, Fletcher, Angela, and Grace.

Missed and loved by many friends and his many nieces and nephews in Canada and Italy. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in his honour to OSPCA or Southlake Hospital Cardiac Unit (Newmarket).
