Luigi Petruzzelli, age 85, of Spring Hill, FL. formerly of Boston, passed away January 13th at 3:27pm. He was the beloved husband of Angela (Mazza) Petruzzelli, his childhood sweetheart and forever love. Born in Pratola Serra, Italy, he was the one of seven children of Pasquale and Angela Maria Petruzzelli. Luigi worked as a carpenter, learning the trade form his father who owned a funeral parlor business and a furniture business in Italy. Luigi and his wife Angela, who were raised just a few miles from each other, married on April 25th 1957. They soon immigrated to the United States in Boston, MA in pursuit of the “American Dream.” A few years later, they became the parents of two beautiful children: Louis and Linda. Luigi supported his family as a carpenter at different shops. A hard worker, he quickly landed a job with a company that worked with large corporations and Howard Johnson’s all over the United States. He was then made a foreman working with blueprints and overseeing many employees. Although respected and loved by all who met him, Luigi´s true passion and greatest lead role was being the head of his family. Luigi enjoyed his life every day: from going on runs, making people laugh, and riding his motorcycles with his son, Louis. In addition to his beloved wife, Angela, Luigi is survived by his two children and daughter-in-law: Linda Maggiano of New Hampshire and Louis Petruzzelli and Terri Osborn in Spring Hill, Florida. Luigi is also survived by five loving grandchildren: his “pretty princess,” Jaclyn, Amanda, Thomas, “the light of his life,” Christen, and his sweet Zachary. He is further survived by his brother, Gerardo, and sister, Maria, both of Italy; along with many nieces, nephews, and cousins. The family will be celebrating “Nonno’s” beautiful life through a private service on January 18th, 2021, at Meadowlawn Funeral Home and Memorial Gardens where he will also be put to resting peace. It has been requested that in lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be given to Hospice in his loving memory.
