Obituary of Antonio Volpi

Eight days following the loss of his wife of fifty-four years, Antonio Volpi left us to spend eternity with the woman he loved, wife Maria Angela. Antonio was a devoted father and grandfather who will be greatly missed by his family, Nando (Marie) and Reno (Lory); and grandchildren Codie (Ryan), Jessica, Katelin, Justin, and Ryan.
