Born May 25, 1933 in Mirabella Eclano (Avellino) Italy, Fedele left his hometown and immigrated to Venezuela and Canada in search of a better life. He eventually met his wife Filomena and raised a family in Hamilton. He worked over the years in construction and in hydro. Fedele also did what he could to help his siblings and extended family through his generosity and kindness. His humour and quick wit brought laughter to many. He loved life and enjoyed spending time with family and friends. As his health declined, he turned to his faith and put his trust in the Lord.
The family wishes to thank the care and attention provided by the ICU team at Juravinski Hospital.
