Obituary: Gennaro J. Montefuscoli, 60, Of Fairfield

From Lesko & Polke Funeral Home:

Gennaro J. Montefuscoli Sr., age 60, beloved husband of Robin Greene, of Fairfield, passed away on Jan. 13, 2022, at Yale New Haven Hospital.

In addition to his beloved wife, Robin, he will be remembered by his daughter, Summer Lynn Clark-Smith, and her husband, Andrew; his cherished granddaughter and light of his life, Elizabeth Lynn; his sisters, JoAnn Lowman and her husband, Cliff, Louisa Dunn, and her husband, David; his brother-in-law, Donovan Dunn; several nieces and nephews. They all loved and admired Gennaro so much. He was predeceased by his parents, Genaro and Louise DiSette Montefuscoli, his son, Gennaro J. Montefuscoli Jr., and sister Jeanne Dunn.

A graduate of JM Wright Technical School in 1979, Gennaro's life was dedicated to his family. Holidays and vacations were always special and planned around his family and were enjoyed by all. As his children were growing up, he stayed involved wherever possible, helping coach their sports teams, sharing his love for the New York Yankees and Jets, and later, the occasional visits together to the casinos. His dear friends and family could always count on Gennaro to be ready to help when needed. His memory will be embraced by all whom he touched in life.

Calling hours were Wednesday in the Lesko & Polke Funeral Home, 1209 Post Road, in Fairfield Center. A Mass of Christian Burial followed in Holy Family Church, 700 Old Stratfield Road, Fairfield. He was to be laid to rest next to his son, Gennaro Jr., in Gate of Heaven Cemetery, Trumbull.
