George M. DeCarlo

George M. DeCarlo, 97, of Plantsville, husband of the late Virginia (Benigni) DeCarlo, passed away peacefully at Regency House on Thursday, May 4, 2023.

George was born in Hartford on October 7, 1925, the son of the late Antonio and Anna (DiGiovanni) DeCarlo. George was a World War II Navy veteran, and after his military service, began work for Napier’s where he retired after fifty years of service as Plant manager. 

He lived a long and full life. He was an active man, playing racquet ball at the YMCA for many years. He had a strong work ethic and took great pride in his job and maintaining his home and yard.

George is survived by his son, Bob DeCarlo of Wallingford, his daughter Janice Brown and her husband, Ron of Meriden, his grandchildren, Scott and Tracey Brown and Uriah DeCarlo and his wife, Laura, his great grandchildren, Rylan, Max and Autumn. George is also survived by his companion, Emily Sabatino of Plantsville; her daughter, Deborah Sabatino; and Debbie’s children, Stacey and Jennifer. They were like a second family and took great care of George. He is also survived by several nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his brothers, Louie, Fred and Tony DeCarlo and his sister, Mary Hickey.
