In loving memory of Brian Aldo Piccolo, 72 years who passed away Wednesday June 15, 2016 at Health Sciences North. Beloved husband of 50 years to Patricia Dawn. Loving father to Heather Fragomeni (Marvin Cretzman) and Trevor (Bonnie Gunnarson). Cherished Nono to Tyler and Matthew Fragomeni. Born in Sudbury to the late Aldo and Gladys Piccolo. Beloved brother to Brenda, Greg (Carolyn), Sandra Longarini (Denis), brother in-law to Sharon Patterson, Candy Lefrancois (Rene) and Jim Patterson (Rita). Sadly, missed by many nieces, nephews and his special canine friend Sky. Brian was a generous business man in the community of Levack, owning Piccolos Grocery and Home Hardware store. His passion for sports lead him to coach and sponsor numerous teams in his community. He was giving, humorous, loved to entertain and to socialize no matter where he went. He loved hunting, fishing, gardening and always planning the best family fishing derbies at Windy Lake. Brian lived life to the fullest, never letting life challenges get in the way of his happiness. He was a very active member of the Onaping Falls Lions Club and a member of the Knights of Columbus Levack Council 11565. A Celebration of Brian’s life will be held on Monday June 27, 2016 at the Minnow Lake Legion Branch 76, 1553 Weller St., Sudbury from 3:00 – 8:00 p.m. Service at 7:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers donations may be directly forwarded to the Heart and Stroke Foundation, or a charity of your choice would be greatly appreciated.
Goodbye Brian. We were not able to see much of each other since high school. I was glad we were able to meet up again a couple of yeas ago. From what I read and hear from friends you have led a very good life and have had a positive influence on many people. I am not surprised as you were always upbeat, positive and unselfish. My condolences to Patsy and your family.

Bryan, you will be missed by many. I remember the great times we had at the camp on Windy back in our high school days, particularly you, Norm Bouclin and I waterskiing off the dock (including many face splashes). You were always very generous with your time and always there when help was needed. You always faced life with a smile and unbounded optimism. A rare quality for which you deserve so much respect and admiration.

I am sorry to hear about Bryan. When I was a young man/boy not sure of my path in life, Bryan helped me out by giving me direction in life. I have always appreciated the start he gave me in my working career and I am forever grateful for his recommendations to other employers. He was full of fun and he taught me to be light and laugh whenever possible. Bryan was a very generous soul, and I witnessed him helping many through some tough times. This left a good impression on me, and taught me the value of being kind and helpful to others.
He is a man I will never forget. Our hearts go out to you.

Pat , Heather & Trevor & family.
Sorry to hear of Brian’s death. We have many fond memories of both him & your family. Brian’s generosity was legendary. He as always there for people.. Most of the time he worked behind the scene & neither wanted or expecte credit. Cared for others & trivialize his own problems. Although we haven’t seen him much in the past few years we still feel like we have lost a good friend. We will be out of town for his celebration of life so give yourselves a big hug from us.
