Nunzio Truppa Obituary

In loving memory of Nunzio (Tony) Truppa, born October 23,1937 and passed into eternal life on March 26,2023 after a brave battle with a long illness. Loving son of Dillon and Theresa (DeLaurentis) (deceased), brother of Jeanne (deceased). Nunzio is survived by his beloved wife Mary, his treasured children, Theresa Storto (Dan), Anthony (Jennifer), Kim and Deana (Tom Hayes). he leaves behind his loving grandchildren, Dominic, Gina, Michael, Missy, Valentina, Giovanni, Matteo, Maria, Taryn, Tyler, and Kylie. He was the beloved step-dad of Kristie Ryan (Anthony) and Kimberli Richards (Matthew). treasured 'papa' to Zachary, Carly and Jack. Proud great grandpa to Mario, Dominic, Ava, Kole, and baby Hazel Mae.

Nunzio was born and raised in Chicago. He and Mary moved to Las Vegas, Nv. in 1998 due to business and spent 23 years there. After he retired in 2002 from Sigmatron Int'l he consulted for several years in the electronics industry. He loved working on his 'old car' and won many awards at car shows. he also liked working in the garden and most of all, working on his tan!! Nunzio preferred the hot weather, never liking the Chicago winters. In 2021 he returned with Mary to the Chicagoland area to be close to family,

He was the most social of people and had made too many friends to count throughout the years. He will be deeply missed by those who love him so.

My deepest condolences to your family. I had the honor of knowing Tony through as a member of the Italian American Civic Organization of Berwyn for over 35 years. Please take comfort in knowing that Tony was a true gentleman of great character who was always willing to lend a hand and make everyone feel welcome, he was generous, always had a smile on his face and was our consummate photographer. He was "Our Guy in Vegas" when he was out there. He was one of the guys who made our club great, he will be missed by all who knew him. I will keep you all in my prayers...
