It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Marcello Alberton on January 28th, 2025, at the age of 94. He is predeceased by his loving wife Maria Agnese (2011). He leaves behind his children; Anna Gallina (Jim), Lidia Halyk (Larry), Dorina Aldwinckle (Glenn), Enzo Alberton (Angela), and Ezio Alberton (Nancy). Cherished Nonno of Mark (Heather), Jackie (Michael), Ben (Meghan), Jamie (Kerri), Michael (Gunnie), Dave (Stephanie), Dani (Bryan), Jackilyn (Erik), Nick (Emily), Noah, Frankie, Loredana, and Alessandro. Beloved Bisnonno to Mikayla, Summer, Gemma, Tessa, Stella, William, Weston, Nicola, and Jack.
He will be greatly missed by his family in San Zenone, Italy, including his brothers Severino (Bruna), and Aldo (Anna), also by his sister in law Lucia. He is predeceased by his brother Enzo (2014).
Marcello was a great father and nonno to his family and his presence will be truly missed. He immigrated to Guelph in 1954 where he worked hard to provide for his family. He loved going on his many daily walks and gardening in the summer. His community will not be the same as his neighbours enjoyed giving a wave or stopping to chat with him.
We want to thank the staff at St. Joseph’s for their care and attention to Marcello in his last days.
A visitation will take place at Gilbert MacIntyre & Son funeral home- Dublin chapel, 252 Dublin St. N, Guelph, on Friday, January 31st, 2025 from 5-7. A blessing ceremony will follow immediately after the visitation at 7pm. Cremation will be taking place. Private interment at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, the family would appreciate donations to St. Joseph’s Health Centre Foundation-Palliative Care.
