in si de ha lto n. co m O ak vi lle B ea ve r | T hu rs da y, M ar ch 26 ,2 02 0 | 20 BALDAZZI, Rolando ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ It is with sadness that we announce the passing of Rolando on March 15, 2020, at Oakville Trafalgar Memorial Hospital. We are grateful that he died peacefully, surrounded by family. He was the devoted husband of Carmen for more than 60 years, much loved father of Gabrielle (John) and David (Cathrine) and cherished Nonno of John David, Nicholas, Olivia, and Andrew. Rolando also leaves extended family in Argentina and Italy. Having lived through much adversity as a young person, Rolando, like many of his generation, left Italy in hope of forging a better life. And, that he did. He embraced Canada and the opportunities it provided. Rolando was never happier than when spending time with his family, keeping up with his grandchildren's pursuits, and enjoying a good meal and a glass of wine. He was a faithful and tireless friend, always ready to help with whatever needed to be done. The most important lessons he leaves for us are to love your family, be there for your friends, work hard, always keep learning and never stop being curious. We will miss his unwavering kindness, love and support. Arrivederci! Our family wishes to acknowledge the support friends extended to us during Rolando's illness. In light of concerns related to COVID-19, a private family funeral has taken place. We hope to hold a memorial service at a later date. For those who wish, donations to the Oakville Hospital Foundation would be appreciated.

Beloved husband of Katharina (Kathi, nee Eiler) of 64 years. Loving father of Evaleen (Trevor), Esther (Vaughan) and Hal (Catrine). Proud Opa of Joshua (Gina), Hannah and Charissa Whittingham, Bethany, Chloe, Kira, Jakob and Mark Brown, and Rachel, Delaney and Rhianon Klein. Predeceased by his brother Dieter and his sister Marianne Bebber. Survived by his sister Gisela Jurgeneit. He will be missed by his in-laws, cousins, and many nieces and nephews. Fred Werner came to Canada from Germany at 17. He trained as a steamfitter/plumber in Toronto, working on many projects all over Ontario. In 1965 he moved his family to Oakville to work at the Ford Motor Company in Maintenance. He loved spending time at the cottage on Muskoka River in Bracebridge. Many knew him for his energetic spirit, his love of birds and trees, and his tenor voice. A heartfelt thank you to the paramedics and everyone in the Emergency and Palliative Care Units at Oakville Trafalgar Memorial Hospital who supported him and his family with grace and kindness in the last hours of his life with us. One of Werner's favourite passages from the Bible was Revelation 21:3-4. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Look! God's dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away." We thank our family, friends and neighbours for their care and compassion. We are sorry that at this time we will not be able to meet together. A memorial service will be held in the future.
