HENRY EDWARD MONTESANO It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Henry Montesano on Thursday, June 21, 2007. Henry died peacefully, with his family by his side. Henry was born on September 15, 1920, in Prince Rupert, BC. He was predeceased by his parents, Mary and Angelo, brothers Dominic and Michael and sister Rose. Dad spent over 35 years in the hotel industry in Prince Rupert before retiring in 1975. In 1985 he and Mom moved to Burnaby to be closer to four of their five children. In 1985 they moved to Kamloops. Dad's great loves were Mom, his children, a good cigar, a glass of wine, and music - particularly songs by Dean Martin. Henry is survived by his loving wife of 58 years, Stella, brother Frank, his children Carol Tennessy, Penny (David) Marr, Henry (Liselotte), Angela (Don) MacPherson, David (Anna); grandsons Tim, Jordan, Steven, Alex and Markus, granddaughter Anna-Marie, two great grandchildren, and seven nieces and nephews. Thank you, Dad, for your love and encouragement, your sense of humour, and your pride in your Italian heritage. Dad was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease a few years ago. Our family would like to extend our deepest thanks to the staff at Ponderosa and the Kamloops Seniors' Village, as well as to Dr. Shirley Sze, for the wonderful care and support you gave Dad. You are true 'angels'. A Memorial Mass for Dad will be held at 3:00 P.M. on Friday, July 6, 2007 at Sacred Heart Cathedral, followed by a reception in celebration of a life well-lived. Should friends desire, donations to the Alzheimer Society of BC, P.O. Box 277, Kamloops, BC, V2C 5K6 will be gratefully appreciated in his memory.
