CTVNews – TORONTO — The patriarch of a family-run bakery in Toronto’s west end is dead following an ongoing battle with COVID-19. In a post to SanRemo Bakery and Café’s Instagram page Thursday, the Bozzo family confirmed that Natale Bozzo had died after six weeks in hospital. “He fought very hard, he was in good health prior to this, and we learned of his failing health through very difficult phone calls from the hospital and thankfully we were able to say goodbye,” the post reads. Born in 1945, Bozzo immigrated to Canada from Italy at the age of 15. He started working in Toronto’s Little Italy neighbourhood at Sicilia Bakery on College Street before opening SanRemo Bakery with his brothers in Etobicoke in 1969.
