Alfred Bossio Obituary
Alfred J. Bossio, age 90, of Bridgeport, beloved husband of Nicolina Arlia Bossio, passed away peacefully on June 15, 2019 at St. Vincent's Medical Center with his loving family by his side. Born in Belmonte Calabro, Italy to Ventura and Carolina Bossio, Al came to the United States as a young teen and resided in Trenton, NJ with his parents and older brother, Jim. He proudly served in the U.S. Army during World War II, then met and married the love of his life, Nicolina, and settled in Bridgeport, CT. Al retired from Sikorsky Aircraft where he was employed as a leadman for 40 years. He was an avid bowler and loved planting his vegetable garden. He looked forward to watching his favorite team, the New York Yankees, play each baseball season. He was a consummate gentleman in every sense of the word and will be sadly missed by all who knew and loved him. In addition to his parents, he was predeceased by his brother, Jim and his wife Emma, brother-in-law and sister-in-law, Guglielmo and Angela Veltri and brother-in-law and sister-in-law, Thomas and Theresa Marghella. Al is survived by his devoted wife of 66 years, Nicolina, his children, Carolyn and her husband Tim Thomas of Southbury, Linda and her husband Mark Ricca of Wilton, Jim and his wife Brenda Bossio of Seymour, and Vince Bossio of Seymour. He was blessed with six grandchildren, Christopher and Tim Thomas, Alana and Amanda Ricca, Jonathan and Jeremy Bossio, and five great-grandchildren, Bella, Blake and Brett Bossio and Mackenzie and Lauren Thomas.

I"ll always remember the vegetable garden. Walking by it on the way to grammar school wondering if the tomato count was in four figures. The steeply sloped driveway to the garage. Finding out yes you can park cars on your lawn for convenience. The many afternoons on the stoop watching a Fender stratocaster be tamed until a silver Olds Delta 88 pulled in and Mr. Bossio alighted. These are cherished memories for me. I know you have yours too. R.I.P
