Pietro was the last of a wonderful legacy of the Pirocchi siblings. Dad was born In Miano, Italy. He immigrated to Canada in 1952 in search of a better life for his wife and children. He started working at McHale's Shoes before establishing his own successful shoe repair business, United Shoe Repair in Wortley Village, where he worked tirelessly until his retirement.
