DILOSA: Paul of Bright’s Grove

January 8, 2023 By Haskett Funeral Homes 143 Condolences

DILOSA: Paul of Bright’s Grove

Suddenly at South Huron Hospital on January 7, 2023 of Bright’s Grove at the age of 53. Cherished husband of Sandra O’Leary-DiLosa for 27 years. Proud father of Jessica (Matthew), Wil, and Logan. Loving son of Felix DiLosa and the late Linda DiLosa, and son-in-law of Lorelei and Dale Battram and the late Gerald O’Leary and Norma. Dear brother of Joe DiLosa (Anne), Anne Benest (Norm), and Patrick DiLosa (Christine). Missed by the O’Leary family and many nieces and nephews.

Paul’s greatest joy in life was watching his kids grow and play sports. The family made many memories travelling, golfing, boating and playing hockey on their outdoor rink that he built every year. In his later years he was looking forward to spending time on the farm with Cas, golfing in Florida and supporting his kids as they navigated their way through adulthood. He will be remembered most for his kindness, love for family and his great head of hair.

In keeping with Paul’s wishes, all are welcome to attend a celebration of Paul’s life instead of a formal visitation. Paul’s Funeral Mass will be celebrated at Our Lady of Mount Carmel, 69219 Bronson Line, South Huron, on Thursday, January 12 at 11 AM. Following the funeral mass the celebration of life will be held at the Ailsa Craig Recreation Centre,155 Annie Ada Shipley Street, Ailsa Craig from 1-4PM.

Donations to the St. Thomas Elgin Food Bank would be appreciated by the family.

    Caro FELICE, sono profondamente rammaricato per l’ immatura perdita di PAOLO, tu capirai bene quello che stanno vivendo i tuoi nipoti, ci sei passato tanto tempo prima. Anche all’ ora fu un grande
    terremoto per zia CONCETTINA (sola in una paese che non era LIPARI) che l’affrontò con grande volontà, anche principalmente con l’ aiuto
    tuo (il più grande) con FRANCO e il ribelle ERNESTO. Assieme a LINDA, che lo sta aspettando con gioia
    e dolore, avete dato un’ ottima educazione, insegnamento della durezza della vita che ogni giorno
    va affrontata. Guardiamo avanti a testa alta dicendo “c’è la faremo”.
    Un fortissimo abbraccio FELICE assieme a tutta la tua cara, famiglia con la collaborazione, sicura, del fratello FRANCO.

    Sandra, Jess, Wil and Logie,

    My heart aches to think about what you are going through. I am so sorry for your loss.
    I have been flooded with all the memories of Paul over the thirty plus years that he has been a part of our family – soooo many wonderful times that we had together during family get togethers, vacation, birthday parties, holidays etc.
    When I reflect on these memories, what resonates the most with me is the fierce love and commitment that Paul had to his family. Paul’s face always lit up when Sandra walked in the room and also when he spoke with great pride about his children. Paul was the kind of guy who “worked hard” so that he could “play hard” and enjoy life, love and laughter with his family.

    Phil and the DiLosa family,

    I am so incredibly sorry for the loss of your son/brother!

    My most heartfelt sympathy goes out to all of you xoxo

Rest in peace my friend.

    I am deeply saddened by the loss of Paul to his family and friends. He was a genuine character with a never-ending smile. Over the years, I lost track of Paco (no one called him Paul), but in talking about him with our connected friends from childhood through college since hearing of his untimely departure, it seems nothing had changed thru the years.
