Eliseo Emma

Eliseo "Lee" Emma has gone on to be with the Lord. A man of faith, Eliseo was born in 1922, the son of an Italian-Pentecostal pioneer evangelist. He enlisted and served bravely in the US Navy during World War II. A proud Sicilian, "Mr. Lee" later opened Angelina's Pizzeria in Staten Island in 1957 and Pizza Town Pizzeria in Tempe in 1981. Upon hearing that the US Navy had killed Usama bin Laden, Mr. Lee raised his eyebrows and affirmatively uttered what became his last words "Go get 'em boys" before our Seabee drifted into a deep sleep, to go onto his last campaign. He is survived by his daughter, son, daughter-in-law, two grandsons and granddaughter. Last respects may be paid to "Papaela" at Carr-Tenney Mortuary on Tuesday evening (6-9 PM) and Wednesday morning (10:30 AM-12:30 PM), with the funeral following at 1:30 PM at the National Memorial Cemetery of Arizona.
