A man that proudly served for the United States Navy during World War II, Ligurio was known as a very patriotic man throughout his life. Ligurio would often be seen displaying his honor for his country by sporting his WWII cap daily, along with his involvement with the American Legion throughout the years later in life. Ligurio was a man that loved to work with his hands, which shows through his occupations as a landscaper, mechanic and maintenance engineer during his life. A few of his hobbies which always had him involved with the outdoors, consisted of gardening, playing golf, flying planes and to those he held dear to his heart, being known as a ball buster. Ligurio was known to surround himself with younger people, because he himself truly felt young at heart. He loved to share stories and be in the moment with family and friends.

Even at 94 he was truly forever young and will always and forever be loved.
