FALCONI, Dr. Santé Joseph "Sandy" April 7, 1928 - June 2, 2005

At home, surrounded by his loving family, after a valiant and courageous fight. Beloved husband for nearly 55 years to Anita (née Petrolia). Devoted father to Sandra (John Srigley), Michael (Silvana), Paul (Susan) and Gregory (Rosemary). Proud Papa to Jocelyn, Justin and Jillian Srigley; Angela, Sandy, Michelle, Adam and Jessica Falconi; Jordan, Laurel and Alexander Falconi; Natalie and Andrew Falconi. Predeceased by his parents Michele and Emelia Falconi and sister Stella Herman. Survived by brothers Hubert and Louis Falconi, both of North Bay. Dad will be sadly missed by his in-laws and many nieces, nephews, family, friends and colleagues. Graduating twice from the University of Toronto, PhmB 5T2 and DDS 7TO, Dad was a successful businessman, pharmacist and dental surgeon in Montreal, Sault Ste. Marie and Toronto. As a Fourth Degree in the Knights of Columbus, he was always available for any religious ceremony. As an active member of the Pisterzo Social Club, Dad was always proud of his Italian heritage. He was a man of honour and integrity. Those who knew Dad could always count on his loyalty, caring and advice. The family wishes to thank Dr. Cam Joyner for his expertise and support over the past seventeen years. Thank you also to Dr. Sheldon Tobe and his home peritoneal dialysis team - your guidance and emotional support at all hours was very much appreciated. Special thanks to all Dad's caregivers for the many hours of TLC and personal care, especially Suzanne, Melanie and Lynn.
