Passed away peacefully with his family by his side at the Stedman Community Hospice at the age of 78. Beloved husband of Maria Antoinetta for 54 years. Loving father of Angelo (Jennifer Bowen) and Giuseppe “Joe”. Loving Nonno to his pride and joy Bella. Dear brother to Luigi (Nardina ) Pappani, Albina (Antonio) Pucci, Antonio (Elena) Pappani, the late Adalgisa and Mario Palazzo, Dola (Bruno) Di Maddalena, Adelio and the late Concettina Pappani.

He will also be missed by many nieces, nephews and cousins in Brantford, the Montreal area and Italy. Leonardo was predeceased by Amelita and Giuseppe Corica and Ninetta and Antonio Aquilino.
He was a member of the Rossini Lodge since immigrating to Canada in 1966. He also assisted with the many Spaghetti dinners hosted at St. Mary’s Parish. He was known by many for his warmth, kindness and generosity, always greeting everyone with a smile. He had a heart as big as the sky above and will be fondly remembered by all who knew him. On behalf of the entire family, we would like to extend a special thanks to all the volunteers and staff at the Stedman Community Hospice. Their caring and compassion was truly amazing during this difficult time.
