Obituary: Angelo Louis Rolli, 92, of Clinton

CLINTON, CT - (From Peter H. Torello & Son Funeral Home) Angelo Louis Rolli, 92, of Hamden and Clinton, passed away peacefully July 7th, 2020. The son of Giovanni and Jennie Rolli, he lived in Hamden for 42 years before moving to Clinton.

He was the husband of 65 years of Rose Marie (Gaudino) Rolli; father of Lucille Ann Canary of Clinton with whom he resided and John Louis Rolli of Hamden; also grandfather of Brendan John Canary.
In his early years, he witnessed many historic events: FDR's Motorcade, The Ringling Bros. Circus elephants marching in the streets, The Hindenburg flyover of New Haven, and he shook the hands of General Eisenhower and Admiral Rickover.

Angelo was a highly skilled machinist and was employed by Eastern Screw Machine, the former United Nuclear where he worked on the reactor for the first atomic submarine, Winchester Repeating Arms where he was a member of the trap and skeet team and won many trophies, and he retired from the LFE Corp.

Angelo was a proud veteran of the Korean War, serving in Germany, and was a member of the VFW in Clinton. He was an avid hunter and fisherman, and often went out on charter boats with his buddies. He found joy in maintaining his vegetable gardens and fig trees and also working on carpentry projects.

We take comfort that he is now with his faithful Lab Coco, who was always by his side and passed earlier this year. Angelo will be dearly missed by his family and friends.

Burial will be private.
