Philip Paul Bifulco

Mr. Bifulco was born on May 30, 1959, in Queens, NY, eldest child of Philip and Virginia Bifulco. He graduated from Sussex County Vocational Technical School in Sparta, NJ in 1977 and attended County College of Morris. He married Linda Carroll in Stillwater, NJ on June 7, 1980. In 1982, they and newborn daughter, Rebecca, moved to Huntsville, AL. Their son, Brian, was born the following year.

Mr. Bifulco was a leader in the Huntsville business community and was a member of the Chamber of Commerce, BNI, and several IT organizations. He provided networking capabilities for many local businesses, both large and small. He considered his customers as part of his family and would hurry off day or night to help them through whatever crisis they were facing.

Mr. Bifulco and his wife were among the founders of the first Catholic High School in Huntsville in 1996. From humble beginnings with 38 students, the school is now known as St. John Paul II Catholic High School and has grown to more than 400 students. This was truly a labor of love.

One of the things that was at the top of Mr. Bifulco’s bucket list was realized this year when he joined the teaching staff at Holy Spirit Regional School. He taught a computer class and looked forward to sharing his love of computers with his students. Each week, they studied a person who was instrumental in the advancement of computers and IT.

Mr. Bifulco, who always told people, “Please, just call me Philip,” was always optimistic, had a kind word (or one of his legendary stories or jokes) for everyone, and was a true lover of life. He was loved and respected by his customers, colleagues, friends, and most of all his family. He was always happy to share whatever he had with anyone who was in need.

To know Philip was to know how very much he loved his wife, children, and grandchildren. He would gladly recount many of the funny stories of the various antics by his grandsons, who were so dear to him.

Mr. Bifulco leaves his wife of 36 years, Linda (Carroll) Bifulco of Huntsville; daughter, Rebecca and husband, Jack Eagly, of Huntsville; and son, Brian and wife, Amanda, of Arlington, VA. He leaves grandsons, Patrick, Christopher, and Jonathan Eagly; and Nathan Bifulco. He leaves his mother, Virginia Bifulco, and sister, Loretta Bifulco, both of Huntsville, AL; and brother, William and wife, Debbi, of Newton, NJ.

He was predeceased by his father, Philip A. Bifulco, in 2014, and also by his grandparents, Pasquale and Francesca Bifulco, and Amasio and Cecilia Fargnoli.

Visitation will be at Good Shepherd Catholic Church on Friday, December 2nd, from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM. The funeral service will be Saturday, December 3rd, at 11:00 AM at Good Shepherd Catholic Church.

Interment will be private at Valhalla Memory Gardens in the Chapel of Love. Valhalla Funeral Home is handling final arrangements.

In lieu of flowers, the ‘Philip Bifulco Memorial Fund’ has been established at Redstone Federal Credit Union (Acct#51011770532) to help cover final costs (220 Wynn Drive, Huntsville, AL 35893). The family humbly accepts donations and plans to establish a scholarship fund in Mr. Bifulco’s name at Holy Spirit Regional School in Huntsville.
