Mancuso, the son of Giuseppe Mancuso and Giuseppina Caruso, departed Paterno,
Calabria, Italy for Canada in search of a new beginning. In 1957 he married
Margaret (Venditti) who would share with him forty-eight years as a spiritual
companion, wife and loving mother to their three children: Tony (Pamela), Michael
and James (Ampon). Ottavio was also blessed with Mark and Melissa, his adorable

was a light in the lives of his siblings and their families: brothers - Settimio

friends will also miss Ottavio. Friends may call at the Northwood Funeral Home (942
