Published by Legacy Remembers on Dec. 4, 2012.

BARTOLOTTA ALDO L.
85, of Monongahela, died Sunday, December 2, 2012 in Monongahela-Valley Hospital. Born in Monongahela on August 3, 1927, he was the son of the late Antonio G. and Maria (Pontiere) Bartolotta. Following his graduation in 1945 from Monongahela High School, Aldo served two years in the U.S. Navy nearing the end of WWII. After returning home from the Navy, he partnered with his brother Leo and opened Bartolotta's Meat Market in Monongahela until 1960 when Leo closed the market and opened his first grocery store. Over the next 14 years they acquired ten stores until Leo's retirement in 1974. Aldo took over the Fisher Heights Shop n Save, and over the next 20 years, added three more stores, Charleroi in 1981, opened the Finleyville Shop n Save in 1990 and Mt. Lebanon Shop n Save in 1994. In 1996, he turned his Shop n Saves into Giant Eagles Stores and was currently still involved with his remaining three stores Fisher Heights, Finleyville and Uniontown Giant Eagle's. Surviving are his wife of almost 60 years, Joan (Greco) Bartolotta whom he married May 18, 1953; a daughter and son-in-law, Toni Jo and Robert J. "Archie" Allridge; six grandchildren, Jennifer (Jamie) FitzGerald, Bart Allridge, Damon J. and Dante A.W. Bartolotta, Danielle M. (Matthew) Steingraber, Devin J. Bartolotta; and a great-granddaughter, Claire FitzGerald; a daughter-in-law, Camera Bartolotta, and his former daughter-in-law, Nancy Bartolotta. Preceding him in death were his son, Bruce A. Bartolotta who died November 16, 2009; four brothers, Vincent, Eugene, Leo and Armond Bartolotta; and a sister, Catherine A. Monte Carlo. Friends will be received at the MARSHALL MARRA FUNERAL HOME, 216 Chess Street, Monongahela, 724-258-6767, marshallmarrafuneralhome.com, from 6-9 p.m. Wednesday and noon-4 and 6-9 p.m. Thursday.

Dear Aldo L. Bartolotta Family,

Our sincere and deepest sympathy with the loss of your beloved Aldo. We hope the sweet memories of your beloved Aldo will always be comforting to you and your family.

We know that someone so special and talented (Aldo) will never be forgotten, and the happiest of times that you all shared with Aldo will always be remembered.

There really are no words to soothe the loss that all of you are feeling so deeply for Aldo. May it comfort all of you to remember that Aldo has left the very best of himself behind...."all of you".

"The world has lost another wonderful person". May God hold Aldo in the palm of his hand and give him peace and eternal rest.

We have been long time customers of the Fisher Heights store and we will miss seeing Aldo in the store. He was such a gentleman, kind, family man, wanted you to be satisfied with his store and service, and always had a bright smile for you.

Take care and you all are in our thoughts and prayers during this very sad time for you and your family.

Our sympathy and love,
Bentz and DeBerardinis Family, Donora, PA

My deepest sympathies to Joan and the family of Aldo Bartolotta on their loss. Aldo and Joan became periodontal patients of mine in Washington, PA, and I saw them frequently over a period of several years. All of my office personal regularly commented positively about both Aldo and Joan, and we looked forward to their visits, which were always a pleasant experience, because they were special people who brightened our day. May his memory be eternal and his soul rest in peace.
