BISCEGLIA, Saverio – It is with heavy hearts that we announce the quiet and peaceful passing of Saverio, on Tuesday, February 11, 2025, at the age of 94. Cherished son of the late Domenico Bisceglia and late Gilda Greco. Forever remembered by his siblings Lina Gerbone (late Armando) and the late Giuseppina Bagnato (late Giuseppe). Loving Uncle to Erminia Gerbone, Franca Chiarello, and the late Claudio Bagnato (Fabiola). He will be dearly missed by his many friends and extended family.
Saverio was born in Cerisano, Cosenza, Italy. He immigrated to Canada and eventually settled in Toronto where he worked at Stelco Steel. He was proud of his Italian heritage, and he formed strong bonds with many in the Italian community. One of his favourite pastimes was to share an espresso and a good story with his friends. He had a zest for life and was always up for a new adventure. He loved getting behind the wheel and driving to new destinations.
Saverio will be remembered for his sense of humour. He was a true free spirit and loved life and lived it fully. He was a devoted friend to many. He was a very dependable and reliable source of help to his friends. He had a big heart and will always be remembered for his kindness, fierce loyalty and generosity.

In lieu of flowers memorial donations to the Heart and Stroke Foundation or the Canadian Diabetes Association would be appreciated by the family. Special thank you to the staff at the F.J. Davey Home that made him feel loved and cared for.
He is now at peace in Gods heavenly kingdom. Although he may be gone he will be fondly remembered by his loving family and all who knew him.
