Giuseppe Pilato Obituary
Giuseppe (Joseph) Pilato, 76, passed into eternal peace with Christ our Savior on December 25, 2014. Born in Realmonte, Italy on July 19, 1938, he migrated to Rochester, New York in 1968, where he met his beloved wife of 44 years. Moving his family to Scottsdale, Arizona in 1978, he started a landscaping business, and for over 35 years he successfully applied his traditional farming skills learned in Italy. He had strong faith in God, and was a devoted father and grandfather. Passionate about life, generous, and a practical joker, he warmly welcomed family and friends to his home, and enjoyed sharing his personal stories. His memory will live forever in our hearts. He is survived by his beloved wife Dusanka, daughter Maria Gabriella, son-in-law Lawrence, son Charlie, daughter-in-law Lauren, and grandchildren: Bianca, Dylan, and Nicolo. Visitation and rosary prayer will be held at Hansen Desert Hills Mortuary, 6500 E. Bell Rd, Scottsdale on Friday January 2, 2015 from 5pm to 9pm, rosary at 7pm. A mass in celebration of his life will be held at Blessed Sacrament Church, 11300 N. 64th Street on Saturday, January 3, 2015 at 10am. Interment will follow at Saint Francis Catholic Cemetery, 2033 North 48th Street, Phoenix. Please visit www.hansenmortuary.com to place online condolences.
