In loving memory of Roberto Zuliani, who passed away peacefully surrounded by immense love on January 15, 2026, at the Maison McCulloch Hospice in Sudbury, Ontario.
Roberto was born on February 28th, 1944, the youngest of three sons, to Giovanni and Ines Zuliani in San Daniele, Italy. Beloved husband of 58 years of Silvana (Scruzzi) whom he adored. Very proud and loving father of Stefano (Sue) and Stefanie (Nick) and his kitty Mickey. Loving Nonno to James, Nicholas and Kathryn. Predeceased by his brothers Mario of Sudbury and Franco (Erma) of Italy. Loving brother-in-law of Nadia of Sudbury and Carla (Remo) of Italy. Fondly remembered by his nephews, nieces and their families in Italy, Mauro (Val) of Sudbury and Sandro (Sandra) of Aurora.
Roberto found great joy in gardening, hunting, Italian soccer games, making great wine, his skilled woodworking craftmanship and later in life travelling to sunny destinations. He spent his working career as a carpenter with Toppazzini Construction alongside his brother Mario. He was a gentle soul with an enormous heart and a wonderfully stubborn personality that only made him more loveable.
Roberto was a deeply loved husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle and friend to many. A very special thank you to the angels who walked the hallways and provided exemplary care for Roberto at Maison McCulloch Hospice. We love you and will miss you forever.
