Santarossa, Carlo:
Passed away peacefully on July 26, 2020 in his 71st year.
Beloved husband of Berta Annalisa Santarossa (Rottenbucher). Loving father of Anita Santarossa (Chris MacAlpine) and Sonia Santarossa (Fausto Perez). Dear and loving grandfather of Emily, Isabella and Andrew Perez. Brother of Jack (Florence), Lino (Angela), Virginio (Rosemary), Carmelo, Monsignor Angelo, Giovanna, Natalina and Alma. Predeceased by his parents, Giovanni Santarossa and Italia Maria Santarossa and brother Marco (Maria), Aldo, Adelia and Sylvanna Santarossa and nephews, Francesco, Johnny and John. He will be greatly missed by all his family, extended family and friends. He will also be missed by many of his followers of his radio program "Radio Italia" at CKWR 98.5 FM. His master craftmanship in plastering for over 50 years is present in many homes and businesses across Ontario and world wide. He also volunteered his time and voice with the Waterloo Regional Police Male Chorus and Coro Allegria of the Italian Cortina Club in Kitchener. A lover of music, family, friends and food, his spirit will live on in all our great memories with Carlo. He was an avid and dedicated fan of the Italian soccer team, Juventus. He enjoyed his gardens and fruit trees in his back yard, growing organic foods enjoyed by all his family and friends.
