Lovingly remembered by Frank and Rose Mazzuca (predeceased), Mario Mazzuca (predeceased) and Elaine, Val and Violet Mazzuca and Bob and Rose Mazzuca. Remembered and well-respected by many nieces and nephews. Armand was born and raised in Capreol where he happily resided for 80 years. For 37 of those years he owned and operated Sbrega's Mens and Boys Wear, happily helping those who needed a hand. He was a member of the Fourth Degree Knights of Columbus and a minister of the Eucharist at Our Lady of Peace church. He was the ultimate host and loved to share his gift of music, which was a huge part of his heart and soul, with his family and friends. He fought numerous illnesses for many years with sheer determination, strength and courage. He maintained his sharp wit, keen memory and great sense of humour right to the end. His death leaves us with great sadness. Our family wishes to extend our sincere gratitude and thanks to the many doctors and nurses that cared for him.
