Born in San Giovanni in Fiore, Italy, Antonio Scigliano and his wife Serafina embarked on a brave journey to Canada in 1959. With their two young children, John and Teresa, they were guided by hope as they sought to build a new life. Their family was made complete in 1967 with the arrival of their daughter Maria. Antonio's life was a beautiful tapestry of love, woven over 71 years of marriage to his beloved Serafina. He was a devoted father, a proud and loving Nonno and Great Nonno, whose joy was found in each of his four grandchildren and 6 great-grandchildren. 

Antonio passed away peacefully on August 26, 2025, surrounded by his loving family whom he cherished. He leaves behind daughters Teresa Spadafora and Maria Scigliano (Frank Cortese), his sister-in-law Gina Mele, sister-in-law (Italy), brother-in- law (Italy), and many nieces and nephews. Antonio was preceded in death by his son John Scigliano, and his son-in-law Vince Spadafora.
