Pippo was an honorable, selfless man who lived a long life and persevered long after the passing of his beloved wife. He loved his family, especially his grandchildren whom he always prioritized. Pippo enjoyed cycling and participated in many bike races in Sicily. Cultivating and harvesting the garden was one of his life's passions. The fruits of his labor, especially his vegetables and tomatoes which he made into sauce, were enjoyed by so many. He was always performing odd jobs at his home and the homes of his children. Pippo worked as a mason for many years and many of his stone and brick projects, especially around his own home, are still standing. Pippo's family would like to extend their sincere gratitude and appreciation to Companions and Homemakers, Elizabeth, the Care Coordinator and Orlene, his home healthcare companion. Orlene's dedication and service allowed Pippo to remain in his home of 50 years that he shared with his wife and raised his children. In addition, the family would like to recognize and praise the care and compassion shown Pippo and his entire family by the hospice team and hospital staff working the 2nd floor of the Conklin Building at Hartford Hospital.
