To Vanda and family Our condolences on the passing of your beloved Father, From Colin Banks and Family

Carmen was a person whose enormous spirit belied his physical stature and whose youthful energy belied his age. We will miss his kind and loving manner and his twinkling blue eyes so very much. Perhaps Mikaela said it best: Uncle Carmen He was openhearted He was always kind He was different and he didn't mind He was one of a kind Our deepest condolences to the entire Provato family. With love from Mikaela, Penny and Alex, and George and Maria Dimos.

My memories of Carmen and Rose and the whole Provato and extended family include many treasured gatherings celebrating family milestones and events and even shared losses over the years. Carmen's love for his family was evident in all that he did and shared with those who had the pleasure of knowing him widening the circle of his family and friends. His passion of gardening trickled to all those he knew and he shared with joy his experience and fruits of his passion with family, friends, neighbours etc... Every year, his garden of flowers and vegetables were shared with joy with all of us. I am privileged and fortunate to have known this kind and generous man and have been afforded a gift of love that he shared with joy to those who knew him. May God keep you safe and in his care and tending too the bountiful gardens in heaven with the same passion you did here on Earth. Your teachings of kindness, love and charity will be continued and shared with all of our own families. My deepest condolences to the whole Provato family and may you find strength in the love that surrounds you during this difficult time.
