Paul Eligio, Sr., 77 years old of North Haven entered into eternal rest peacefully at his home on July 7 with his family by his side. He was the husband of 53 years to Barbara LoRusso Eligio and the father of Paul (Sharon) Eligio, Jr. and Wendy (Pat) Eligio Fusco. He was the grandfather of Daniel Fusco, Amber Fusco and Paul Eligio III. Paul was born on March 24, 1939 in Caiazzo, Italy and was the son of the late Frank Eligio and Anna Puorto Eligio. He was predeceased by three sisters, Alexandra Eligio, Sandra Eligio D’Amato, Ida Eligio Mastroianni and a brother Enzo Eligio. Paul was employed at Parese Auto Body in North Haven for many years before opening his own auto body business and was known to be “the best” auto body repair man that anyone could have, and his reputation always preceded him in that field. He loved working on cars and also re-storing many classic cars. Some of his favorite things were making wine with his son Paul, Jr., enjoying his daughter Wendy’s homemade snacks, and singing Italian songs at home and at family functions. He was a fun loving person, and will be forever missed by those who knew and loved him.
His funeral procession will leave the North Haven Funeral Home, 36 Washington Avenue, Monday morning at 9:30. A Mass of Christian burial will be celebrated in St. Barnabas Church at 10:00. Interment will follow in All Saints Cemetery. The visiting hours will be Sunday from 3 to 7 pm.
My thoughts are with you and your family. God bless Paul.
I remember the Chevy Malibu he got me. It had a brand new Green shining painted job and I was 17 and it was a great great gift. I remember the parties when we were young he would sing and have lots of fun. He was the best autobody guy and he taught me a lot.
Aunt Barbara, Wendy , Paul , Pat and Sharon may god bless you and guide you during this time.
Love Always,
Johnny, Maria , Christian, Ali, Bri and Ava.
