Luigi Federici Obituary
Luigi "Gino" Federici, 66, of Wethersfield, beloved husband for 42 years of Dorena (DeFilippis) Federici, passed away peacefully at home surrounded by his loving family on Monday, March 19, 2018. Born in Fondi, province of Latina, Italy on May 7, 1951, he was the son of the late Vincenzo and Giuseppina (Mastrobatista) Federici. He served proudly in the Italian military prior to coming to America. Gino retired from Arkema in Kensington, where he worked as a machinist in plexi-glass manufacturing for over 35 years. He was a member of the Lenolese Society in Farmington. Gino enjoyed the outdoors, he loved gardening, hiking and just appreciating the sunshine. He was a proud fan of the N.E. Patriots and he liked spending time with friends. Although, more than anything, Gino was a devoted family man who was happiest when surrounded by his loved ones, especially his grandchildren. A loving husband, father and grandfather, Gino will be forever missed by his devoted wife Dorena; his four sons, Vincent and wife Siobhan of Glastonbury, John and wife Sheela of Ann Arbor, Michigan, Dino of Wethersfield and Nicholas and wife Hilary, also of Wethersfield and his eight adored grandchildren, Angelo, Mia, Lyanna, Giovanni, Sebastian, Tommy, Nolan and Dominic who will miss their Nonno very much. In addition, he is survived by his brother, Tony Federici and wife Juta of Germany and his sister, Maria DiMichele and husband Gino of Milan, Italy, as well as several nieces, nephews, extended family members and many friends. In addition to his parents, Gino was predeceased by his mother-in-law, Concetta DeFilippis Calegari. The family would like to thank Dr. Donadio and Staff for their excellent care and compassion. Family and friends may gather on Friday (March 23) from 4-7 p.m. at the D'Esopo Funeral Chapel, 277 Folly Brook Blvd., Wethersfield. There will be a brief service at 6:45 p.m. that will conclude the calling hours. Donations in Gino's memory may be made to the American Cancer Society, 825 Brook St., I-91 Tech Ctr., Rocky Hill, CT 06067. To share a memory of Gino with his family, please visit www.desopo.com.

Gino's many acts of giving remind me of a song, Love makes the world go round.
For love, shall always be about giving, the giving of one's self.
I will always remember Gino's home at Thanksgiving and Christmas time.
I shall remember his presence at significant birthdays, when guests of honor delighted in the attention paid to them at important moments, such as the blowing out of candles.
I shall remember those smiling, loving, eyes focused on that important task.
I shall remember how those eyes would go on smiling, even as children raced merrily about; joyful at the discovery that sometimes even raucous noise can happily go unnoticed.
You will be missed, my friend. How could it be otherwise?
But, your gift of self shall endure. It will go on giving to all who were privileged to see it up close on so many occasions; occasions that will forever be happy in our memory for the evidence of love bestowed, in so many acts of giving.
Rest in peace, gift-giver.
And, oh yes, thank you for helping make the world go around. It did not go unnoticed.
