Obituary for Luigi Osso
Luigi Osso, a resident of Hopewell Junction, passed away peacefully at home on Saturday, November 5, 2022. He was 87.
Son of the late Pasquale and Maria (Pate) Osso, he was born in San Lucido, Italy on June 17, 1935. On October 31, 1959, he married Carmela Guglielmo-Pate. Luigi and Carmela began raising their family in Italy. In 1971, he emigrated to the United States to prepare a foundation for his wife and children, who joined him four years later. They lived in the Bronx for several years and then relocated to Yonkers, and later Mahopac. They moved to Hopewell Junction in 2006.
Luigi was a hardworking man who dedicated his career to masonry and construction. He was a member of the Laborer’s Local 235 (Elmsford, NY), and retired in 2000. He was a parishioner of St. Columba Church in Hopewell Junction, and his hobbies included gardening, making wine & Italian sausage, and in his later years he became a great cook.
