Nello Papi Obituary
Nello Peter Papi Jr., 64, of Fort Myers, Fla., and formerly of Old Forge, died Thursday at Hope Hospice, Lehigh Acres, Fla. His wife is Rose Ann Papi.
Born in Scranton, son of Nello and Louise Albanesi Papi, of Fort Myers, he was a 1974 graduate of Old Forge High School. Nello was a salesman his entire life. Furniture sales was his passion. He enjoyed life to the fullest every day. This past year was very difficult given his medical diagnosis. Nello was an avid golfer, fisherman and pool player. His most enjoyment in life came from hunting with his dad and his best friend, Paul, his brother.
Surviving in addition to his wife and parents are a brother, Paul Papi, Old Forge; sister, Patricia Rinaldi, Danville; daughter, Amy Szafran, Fort Myers; son, Edward Szafran, Kingston; aunts; a niece; and nephews.
His life will be celebrated with visitation and a funeral Mass on Jan. 8 at St. John XXIII Catholic Church, Fort Myers. Please remember Nello in your prayers.
Local arrangements are by Ferri & Gillette Funeral Services LLC, 522 Fallon St., Old Forge.
