Mementos

Sebastian Notaro passed away peacefully at the age of 97 on September 19th at his residence, Addington Place at College Harbor.

“Sibby” was born and raised in Buffalo, NY. He is preceded in death by his wife, Rosalie “Rose” Notaro; parents, Phillip Notaro and Mary Alessi Notaro; son, Duane Notaro; and brothers, Joseph and Leo. Sebastian is survived by his children, Gerald Notaro, Darlene Bowers, Cheryl Schmied, and Lauren Notaro Smith; brothers, Phillip, James, and Anthony; and sisters, Ann Insinna and Elaine Thrasher; six grandchildren; and five great-grandchildren.

After raising their family and 35 years of running Notaro Roofing Company, Rose and Sibby moved to St. Petersburg where they had wintered for years and continued to summer in Bay Beach, Ontario. Sibby also continued his love of fishing and boating for many years in Florida. He was an avid bowler, voracious reader, respected board member, and everyone’s “handyman” at their residence at Bay Point Plaza. If anything anywhere needed fixing they called on Sibby who was gracious with his knowledge and talents.

I was so sorry to hear of Sibby’s passing. I met him many years ago when I lived in Florida. I am a friend of his daughter Lauren. I always was so impressed with the very close relationship between Lauren and her dad. He was a great person and a wonderful dad. I am keeping Lauren and the family in my prayers.

Dad you always worked so hard 16 hours a day some weeks 7 day’s straight. Never complained about the enormous responsibility you had taking care of your mother, brothers, sisters and your own family. You directed everyone on what it meant to succeed in life and strive to do the best we could. You never turned down anyone in need . Mom & you never turned anyone away from our dinner table. Our door was open all summer long in Crystal Beach & Bay beach teaching all of us to waterski and enjoying lazy days on Lake Erie. Roasting chestnuts in the fireplace and sledding in the winter - then off to Florida for winters what an awesome life you gave us. Helping purchasing our first homes and letting us have the weddings of our dreams. Teaching us how to repair our cars, paint and get up on a ladder to hammer a gutter. There is so much to say Dad l love you forever until we are together again. Lauren

Uncle Sebastian Notaro was such a huge force and staple throughout all of our lives. He always made sure we were OK and knew we had a huge family to rely on. His wife Rose, children Darlene ,Gerald ,Cheryl ,Duane and Lauren and grand kids and siblings were his whole life. From daily needs to fixing anything you needed fixing. He found a way . Even when he went to Florida he kept in close contact with everyone from Buffalo weekly. It was the best ritual when in Florida to visit him and Aunt Rose and do dinner and lunch. Food was his next love. Lol He will will be missed terribly but remembered always for his great smile, sence of humor , love of living life to the fullest and devotion to Aunt Rose and all the kids. We Love you Uncle Sib
