Enzo was a dedicated and hardworking individual, known for his deep love for his family and his passion for his work. In 1957, Enzo immigrated to Canada and founded Alfano Bros. Auto Body in 1963, a business he nurtured and grew until his last days. His commitment to excellence and his hands-on approach made the auto body shop a well-respected establishment in the community. Beyond his business, Enzo was passionate about motorsports, sponsoring a Stock Car team in the 1960’s and a Snowmobile team in the 1970’s. His passion for the water led him to building the Alfa Seven, launching it in 1976, where the family spent countless summers enjoying the waters of the Great Lakes.
