Born on November 27, 1934, in Italy, he came to America at just six months old with his father, Edmond, his mother, Elvera, and his sisters, Theresa, Lena, and Helen. From those humble beginnings, he built a life rooted in hard work, loyalty, and deep love for his family.
Dad is survived by his beloved wife and our mother, Mary, the love of his life; his sister, Helen; and his sisters-in-law, Carrie and Grace.
He leaves behind his six children- Bob (Mariann), Ed (Georgia), Cindy, (Joe), Michael (Janet), Tom (Debbi)), and Jim (Stacey)- along with fourteen grandchildren, three great-grandchildren, and many extended family members and friends whose lives were forever touched by his kindness, wisdom, and steady presence.
He also leaves behind someone he loved as a brother- his best friend of sixty-eight years, Val-and his wife, Geri. Their bond was a true testament to loyalty and lifelong friendship.
We find comfort in knowing that our dad's legacy lives on through the lessons he taught us, the love of life he shared so freely, the family and friends he brought together, and the countless memories filled with kindness, laughter, and love that we carry in our hearts for the rest of our days.
A Memorial In State will be held at St. Colette Catholic Church, located at 17600 Newburgh Rd, Livonia, MI 48152, on February 7, 2026, from 9:30 am to 10:00 am. This will be followed by a memorial mass at 10:00 am.
