DEL BIANCO, Lou

It is with great sadness that we must announce the passing of Lou Del Bianco at the age of 91 on November 5, 2020.
 
 He was the Beloved Husband, and Best Friend of Lydia Del Bianco, who was his Sweetheart and the love of his life.
 
Wonderful Father to his stepchildren, Debra Kaye (Jan), Rhonda Cartner (Raymond), David Cartner (Dawn) and Robin Conroy (Dan), and father-in-law to John Regan and Bill Stamo. He was our Protector, our Mentor and our good Counsel in all things and gave his unyielding support no matter the circumstances.
 
Pops was a man of wide interest, who loved to learn for the sake of Knowledge. He was an avid reader and had a keen interest in history and politics and was amazed by new technology. He was also a great skier, a sailor, a gardener and a boat builder, a cyclist, a skater and a photographer. He loved the outdoors, and spent his early years canoeing and camping with his friends on the Great Lakes. His friends loved and respected this quiet, thoughtful, considerate man and regularly gathered together well into their senior years to be in each other’s company.
 
Lou was a Grandfather to Richard (Alysha), Ryan (Jen), Tim (Arza), Betina (Mike), Daniel (Jenna) and Julianna. Great Grandfather to Jadyn, Addison, Kylan, Lydia, Rowan and expectant baby girl Conroy.
 
Special Uncle to Neil (Rosanne) Del Bianco, and Deanna Del Bianco and was loved by many nieces and nephews in the Del Bianco Family. Cherished Best friend of Mario (Buck) Diodatti with whom he spent many years and happy times.
 
You meant so much to all of us Pops and we were so blessed to have had you in our lives.
