We are deeply saddened to hear of Fernando’s passing. He was a true mensch who deeply touched so many people. He was always willing to help, however possible, and he did so with a smile and with a warm heart. May his memory always be for a blessing and may his entire family find comfort at this time.

Dearest Grace, Leo and the entire Azoulay family, How do you sum into words a friendship that spans over 20 plus years? Fer was a third uncle to our girls, he showered them with love, spent endless hours hanging out with them in our home, he was their “candy man” providing them with all kinds of treats on a weekly basis while they watched their favourite reality tv show together, but most of all he was the guy that they could always rely on for anything big or small. A man who gave of himself and loved unconditionally. We will forever feel blessed to have had the opportunity to call him our friend. Thank you Fer, for allowing us to be a part of your life, we were blessed to know you. RIP dear friend, we will love and miss you forever. ❤️

It is with great heartache learning of Fernando’s passing. He was a kind and caring man whom I have have known for over 50 years when the family came to Canada from Argentina. I wish I could take away the pain you are all feeling. Let your memories get you through this difficult time. I love you all very much.

I’m still in shock about this news. I’ve known and worked with Fernando for 20 years. The last thing I said to him was have a happy New Year... see you next year. He would always tell me to watch The Big Lebowski , you’ll love it..and I would always tell him I’m gonna do it...as soon as I get some time. I’ll make some time this week. Rest In Peace my friend.

I’ve known Fernando for 16 years. He’s always there for you, He was the type of person to help you until the job was done. Once you knew him, you’d be friends for life. He always checked in with my family, and made sure they were okay. I wasn’t expecting my Christmas greetings to him would be the last . I just message him Merry Christmas early morning. I didn’t know he passed. I know he’s in a better place now. He will be missed dearly, Rest in Peace ?

My family and I are deeply saddened to hear about Fernando's passing. He was a true friend and colleague who deeply touched so many people. He was always willing to help however possible. Every year, for our union Christmas party Fernando invited my family. My kids loved him so much and always wanted to see him. His last message to me was "Happy holidays and the chocolates your kids gave me was amazing, please thank them again."
