In Memory of Attilio Femia

Woodbury, NY, US

Attilio loved his family above all things. He was a simple man of very few words, but when he spoke it was profound, and you always listened. You would find him every day with a smile on his face and not a care in the world. Although Attilio loved his girls, nothing brought him more joy than the birth of his first grandson, Vincenzo, and his 5 amazing grandchildren to follow: Alessandra, Joey, Domenico, Gabriella and Mikey. They were his world. You would find them right next to him in the garden as he cooked, listening to his Italian music or playing games on his IPad. You will hear all of them say that their Nonno was their best buddy and he had a very special bond with each of them. He will always be remembered for his beautiful saying, “e meglio ricco di sangue che di soldi,” which translates to: “It is better to be rich in blood than in money.” In Attilio’s final days, he was at home, surrounded by love and family, which were the only two things that he ever cared about in this world.
