Louis Locco Sr.

He was born on April 26, 1927, the son of the late Umile Locco and Carmella (Tito) in Trenton, NJ where he spent his childhood. When he was 20, he met Emelia Cotugno at a dance and the rest is history. They were married, became proud residents of Bristol Borough and had a family. They were members of St. Ann Church in Bristol and had celebrated their 74th Anniversary before Emelia’s passing.

Louis served our country in the US Navy in WW2. He worked as a pneumatic repairman in the machine shop at the US Steel Fairless Plant.

He had a passion for gardening and repairing things. A man of few words, Louis expressed his love by helping others. His kindness and generosity will be remembered by all who had the pleasure of knowing him.

Louis will be deeply missed by his children: Emelia Bush (John), Michael (Betty), Jovanna, Ann Marie Gupta (Prashant), 11 grandchildren, 16 great-grandchildren, his sister Lucy Levandusky and his brother Daniel Locko.

He was preceded in death by his wife Emelia (Cotugno), son Louis Locco, Jr (Patricia), his grandson Evann Gupta, his brothers John, Anthony, Umile Jr, his sisters Concetta Vitella and Mary Ortiz.
