Francesco Rolli

It is with deep sadness that the family announces the peaceful passing of Francesco Rolli, on Sunday, July 20th, at the age of 80, surrounded by the love of his family.

 

An Italian immigrant, Francesco came to Canada in search of a better life — one in which he could build a bright future for his loved ones. He was a man of great generosity and kindness, proud of his roots, passionate about history, and even more devoted to his family.

 

A devoted father, beloved grandfather, and cherished great-grandfather, Francesco was the rock of his family — a constant and caring presence, always guided by his heart.

 

His legacy lives on in the hearts of his family, through the love and values he passed down.

 

He is survived by his beloved wife Maria Rolli, his daughters Lucia Rolli, Laura Rolli, and Marisa Rolli, his sons-in-law Leo Pizzi, Sergio Gonzalez Carrasco, and Paolo Di Zazzo, his grandchildren Jessica Rolli-Vaccaro, Michael Rolli-Vaccaro, Andrew Pizzi, Sophia Pizzi, his great-grandchildren Matteo Manfredi, Mia Manfredi, Isla Manfredi, and Lea Manfredi, as well as many relatives and friends.

 

The family will receive condolences at the Urgel Bourgie / Athos Funeral Complex, located at 6700 Beaubien East, Montreal, on July 25th, 2025, from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM and from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM.

 

The funeral service will be held in the chapel of the complex on July 26th, 2025, at 10:00 AM.

 

In lieu of flowers, the family invites you to make a donation to the Canadian Cancer Foundation.
