SAVERINO, Salvatore July 8, 1938 – October 14, 2022 With sadness, we announce the passing of Salvatore (Sam) Saverino, Owner of Al Flaherty's Outdoor Store in Toronto, on October 14, 2022, at the age of 84. Beloved husband of Caterina; and devoted father to Julie (Tony Fuda), Domenic (Laura Crane) and Silvana (Sam Commisso). Proud nonno of Sarah (Anthony Vinelli), Katherine (Michael Guglietti), Vince (Emily), Michael and Christina; and great-grandfather of Sophia, Matthew, Andrew, and Thomas. A dear brother to Rosa (Frank Bruzzese, predeceased), Steve (Mary) and Arturo (Pasqualina, predeceased). He will be missed by his nieces, nephews and their families. Mr. Saverino had a lifelong passion for the outdoors, and he travelled the world to pursue his love for fishing and hunting. He arrived in Canada from Italy in the early 1950s with $50 in his pocket and the clothes on his back. He worked several jobs, including part-time work at Al Flaherty's Army Store, until he eventually purchased the business from the Flaherty's in the late 1960s. He grew the family business and expanded the building to accommodate a growing clientele.
