Ermo Joseph Paglione

Ermo Joseph Paglione, age 90, passed away on Thursday, April 21, 2011. He was born on May 9, 1920, to the late Saverio and Carmela Paglione, and was a graduate of Holy Rosary High School.

He was a member of St. Philip the Apostle Catholic Church where he served as head usher for many years, and he enjoyed spending time with the 37th Division Veterans Association. Ermo was very athletic and remained active in golf, fishing, and bowling. He took pride in maintaining his yard, and he was a great handyman. He was creative and generous, and whether it was a ticket to an event or candy from his pocket, he was always willing to give.
