Louis Riccioli Obituary

Louis Riccioli of Norristown Louis Riccioli, 58, of Norristown, passed away peacefully on Saturday, March 14, 2015, at Bryn Mawr Rehab. Born July 26, 1956 in Norristown, he was the son of Gloria (Evangelista), and the late Anthony Riccioli. He was the loving husband of 39 years to Anne (Modica) Riccioli. Louie Riccioli was a man who enjoyed life and everything that it had to offer, if you couldn’t find him at the yard or pouring concrete, you could find him at home at the dinner table with his family laughing and cracking jokes. One of his favorite things to do was teaching his beloved Santino how to run the backhoe. He was a loving husband to Anne since they met 48 years ago and was a father, grandfather, and friend to all and he will be dearly missed by many. Mr. Riccioli is survived by his loving children, Gina and Anthony and his wife Sami, of Norristown; one brother, Cosimo Riccioli, of Norristown; two sisters, Lydia Hartley, of Norristown, and Marianne Riccioli, of Norristown; and many nieces and nephews. Louis is also survived by his precious grandchildren, Gino, Frankie, and his beloved Santino who he adored dearly. Family and friends are invited to attend the viewing for Mr. Riccioli on Wednesday, March 18, 2015, which will begin at 6 pm at the Holy Saviour Church 407 E Main St. Ntn. Pennsylvania. There will also be a viewing on Thursday, March 19, 2015 from 8:30-9:45am also at the church. Mass will follow the visitation at 10:00am. Burial will take place in the St. Patrick’s Cemetery, East Norriton, Pennsylvania 19403. Funeral arrangements with the Caramenico FH Inc., Main & Walnut Sts., Ntn., PA. 610-275-7777.

I was i Mexico when Louis passed away and I only found out at our family Easter dinner.
My deepest sympathy goes out to the entire family. Coz & Lidia, I am so sorry for your loss and I know Louis was a strong family member and his presence will be deeply missed.

I was Louie's roommate at Bryn Mawr rehab. Nobody wants a roommate, but within minutes of meeting Louie, I knew I couldn't have found a better one. He was such a caring man, interested more in my well being than his own and genuinely nice to all of the staff. Louie had friends and family visiting every night, so clearly he was well loved by everyone. My thoughts go out to everyone in the Riccioli family.

Dear Riccioli Family,

Words cannot express how sorry and saddened we are about the loss of our dear cousin, Louie. I have fond memories of him from our family reunions, he always made me laugh. I know how much pride he took in the "Riccioli" family business and I'm sure that made his Dad and our Grandpop so proud as well. May Louie rest peacefully, and may God grant his beautiful family, strength and comfort throughout this painful time. Love you, Louie and family.
