A member of our cherished founding team, Leanne Esposito, passed away recently, and it is with a heavy heart that we share this news with you. In addition to being the person who was responsible for the development of Paolo’s Pizza Bar, Leanne was a shining example of warmth, generosity, and commitment.
Her tireless efforts over the years have contributed to the formation of the company’s core values and principles. People came to Paolo’s not only for the pizza, but also for the warm and welcome spirit that she personified. Her work and passion helped make Paolo’s what it is today–a place where people gathered for pizza.
Every person who had the pleasure of knowing Leanne will be saddened by her passing. Her presence had an impact on a great number of people’s lives, and her legacy will continue to shine through all of the love, laughter, and shared experiences that she is responsible for creating here.
Leanne’s influence will never be forgotten, whether it was via the arduous effort she did behind the scenes or by the friendly grin she wore when she greeted different customers.
In spite of the enormous gap that her departure has left in our hearts, we will continue to honour her memory in everything that we set out to accomplish. In perpetuity, Paolo’s Pizza Bar will serve as a tribute to her vision, the effort she put forth, and the happiness she brought into the lives of everyone she came in contact with.
The memorial service for Leanne will be held at Ross Funerals in Nikenbah on Tuesday, October 22nd, at eleven o’clock in the morning as scheduled. We extend an invitation to anybody who would like to pay their respects and say their goodbyes to a woman who was genuinely extraordinary to be among us. During this trying time, we want her family and loved ones to know that we are thinking about and praying for them.
