Lodovico Fabbri

Lodovico "Vic" Fabbri

Peacefully on Friday August 3rd, 2012 at Riverview Health Centre Lodovico "Vic" Fabbri passed away, at the age of 86, with his close friends by his side.

He was born in Toronto, Ontario on December 26, 1925 "a day after The Man". He moved to Winnipeg at a young age and lived most of his life in the family business, the Polo Cafe on Higgins Avenue across from The Royal Alexander Hotel and the Canadian Pacific Railway Station. Vic served overseas with the Canadian Army during the Second World War and upon his return earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in October 1951 as well as receiving his law degree in March 1960.

Vic will be remembered the most for his insatiable poetry writing. Vic also had a love for the Music and Movies from the 1940's, 1950's and 1960's. He was a true romantic!

Vic was predeceased by his parents Giovanni and Carmelinda Fabbri, his brother Nello (Noemi) Fabbri and his niece Victoria.

Left to grieve his passing are his niece Tinda Clifford and many close friends. The staff on 3E of the Riverview Health Centre are commended for their compassionate care for Vic's end of life journey.

Vic's Funeral Service will be on Friday August 10th, 2012 at 11:00am with viewing prior to the service, in the Maranatha Evangelical Free Church, 910 Sturgeon Road, Winnipeg. Following the reception interment will take place at Brookside Cemetery.

A tree will be planted in memory and cared for by McKenzies Portage Funeral Chapel www.mckenziesportagefuneralchapel.com
