MAY 24, 1939 – MAY 23, 2021
In loving memory of Cosimo Gutta, who passed away on May 23, 2021.
Born in 1939 in southern Italy, Cosimo apprenticed as a barber at the age of 13 before coming to Canada in 1956, working in Toronto, Newmarket, Burlington, and New York City before returning to Italy in 1969 to marry his love, Angela. Together, they settled in Cambridge, Ontario and raised two children. Cosimo enjoyed a long career until his retirement in 2016.
Cosimo will be greatly missed by his wife of 52 years, Angela, his children Rosemary (Mario) and Anthony, his siblings Carmela (Vincenzo), Domenico (Rosetta), and Frank. Cosimo was a cherished brother-in-law to Tita, Giuseppina (Francesco), Cosimo (Silvana), Giuseppe (Maria), and was a beloved uncle, nephew, cousin, and friend to many. In Heaven, he is reunited with his parents Rocco and Rosa, siblings Giuseppe (Maria), Maria (Luigi), Angelina (Giuseppe), Vincenzo, and dear family members and friends.
A special thank you to the staff at Riverbend Place in Cambridge for their wonderful care and compassion during Cosimo’s final years.
