In Memorial

Angelo Criscione 1916-2010
Putnam & Simsbury, CT – Angelo Criscione, 93, passed away Saturday, May 8, 2010. Born in Ragusa, Sicily, he was the son of the late Joseph and Santa (Russo) Criscione. He came to the US as a boy and became a citizen. As a teenager Angelo lived with his family in NY helping with support by selling firewood and newspapers with his younger brother. Angelo served in the 195th Army Corp of Engineers during WWII in the African campaign. He trained as a fine art lithographer at The Cooper Union in NY, and is a member of the Amalgamated Lithographer’s Union. As a young man Angelo exhibited his artistic talent and enjoyed a life-long love of painting with shows in the tri-state area. Angelo met his wife of 63 years, Jean (Herlihy) Criscione in NY. They were married in St. Mary Church of the Visitation in Putnam, CT, and settled in New Jersey to raise their three children: Karen, Elaine, and Donald. Angelo and Jean retired to Simsbury, CT in 1992. In addition to his wife, Angelo is survived by his two daughters, Karen Bushong and her husband David, and Elaine Criscione; his son, Donald Criscione and his wife Mary; his brother Sam Criscione and his wife Helen; and his six grandchildren, Bryan, Nickel, Krista, Timothy, Andrew and Kevin. Visitation will be Wednesday May 12, 2010 from 9:30 to 10:30 AM at the Gilman Funeral Home, 104 Church St. Putnam, CT followed by Mass and Burial at St. Mary Church of the Visitation, 218 Providence St. Putnam. A Memorial Service will be held in Simsbury at a later date.

    I send heartfelt condolences to all of Angie’s family, Jean and the children, and Anne,Bennie and Bobby and Charlotte, and John’s wife Juneand all the growing family.

    I will come to the Gilman Funeral once more for a dear family menber. The first time was Grandpa Bulger’s funeral. And how sad Lester and all the children were then. Of course I was a 12 yr old granddaughter but these family passings would go on to be an important part of my heritage, and a strong connection to the place of my birth.

    I also remember Angie’s and Jean’s wedding. I was very young but I recall the twirly dress my mom made me and how lovely the bride and groom were. Jean looked like and angel and of course Angie was so handsome with his dark curly hair.

    Mom spent many hours on the phone with Jean in the later years and it brought her such joy.

    That great Bob Hope song just about says it all. Thanks for the memories

    Your family member
    Kathleen Fay
