Obituary of Carlo Barzotto

Born on December 3, 1956 in Montreal, Quebec and on April 1, 2017 left behind devoted and loving parents Luigi and Vilma Barzotto (nee Azzalini), loving and cherished daughter Nadia Barzotto (husband Stephen Gomes), selfless brother Gino Barzotto (wife Antoinette), nieces, great nieces and nephew. Proud of his Italian-Canadian heritage, he was a long-standing member of the Caboto Club. Carlo was a graduate of W.D. Lowe and the HK program at the University of Windsor. He was an employee of Canadian Border Services since 1981. Carlo was passionate about activities that enriched his mental and physical wellbeing, which included Tai Chi, riding his Bianchi, rollerblading, longboarding and long nature walks at Point Pelee. He was an all-around athlete, gaining recognition in basketball and a long-time fan of the Expos and Habs. He was also an avid enthusiast of music and art. Positivity, gratitude and living in the moment defined the meaning of his life in both times of struggle and grace. Wishes for more kindness, giving, acceptance, peace and compassion in the world is his legacy which will continue to influence his family. It was Carlo"s nature not to burden anyone, and at his request, a Thought Sharing memorial service will be held on Tuesday, April 11th at Ambassador Golf Club, 1025 Sprucewood Ave., Windsor, from 3-7 p.m. Friends and family are invited to join us to share honest and humourous stories to celebrate Carlo"s life. We would also like to thank the 7th floor staff at WRH-Ouellette Campus and Hospice Residential Home for supporting us through a very difficult journey.
