John Chiusano Obituary

Devoted husband and loving father
John F Chiusano passed on February 19, 2025, the best husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather that anyone could ask for, and will be greatly missed. He was born in 1929 as the third of six children of Carmine (aka Happy) and Anna Mae in Brooklyn.
He graduated from Textile High School, a magnet school in Manhattan. He served in the Army and then as a civil servant for over 40 years. He was a Brooklyn Dodgers fan, a Boy Scout troop leader, who loved fishing, as well as helping kin and others. John was preceded in death by Joan, his wife of 68 years, parents, siblings Angela, Winnifred, Gertrude, Carmen, Angelo, and their spouses. He is survived by his sons Christopher, Stephen (Irina), and Paul; grandchildren Aaron (Imani), Paul, and Margarita (Mike); great-grandchild Xavier, and many nieces, nephews, and cousins.
Visitation will be held at Borgwardt Funeral Home, 4400 Powder Mill Road, Beltsville, MD on Friday, February 28, from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Interment Crest Lawn Memorial Gardens.

My condolences to all the family. I did not know John Chiusano, but my father was also a graduate of Textile High School (he was born in 1922, so he wouldn't have known your father).
