Americo S . Tirri “Deak” age 87 of Wayne, died peacefully on Monday, November 14, 2011.
He was born and raised in Paterson having moved to Wayne over thirty years ago.
Americo was a US Army Veteran of WWII having served in Naples-Foggia, Rome-Arno, North Apennines and the PO Valley. He received the European-Africa-Middle Eastern Ribbon, the Good Conduct Medal and the WWII Victory Medal for his service. He was a member of the Riverside Vets, Paterson.
One of his recollections was driving an Army Jeep down the Spanish Steps in Rome. The monumental stairway of 138 steps was built in 1723 and said to be the largest set of stairs in all of Italy. He served his commanding officer as a driver and language interpreter with the locals. His happy, loving, crazy personality caused him to be a very brave risk taker. Those steps were very steep and his passengers held on for dear life. He was a member of the Riverside Vets, Paterson.
Deak was gifted in life with a wonderful personality coupled with a great sense of humor. Add to those attributes of personality charming and a true ladies man. The girls just loved him.
He worked for the Red Carpet Inn in Paramus, and various dye houses in Paterson before worked for the Wayne Board of Education as a custodian for ten years before retiring in 1986.
He was the loving husband of the late Norma (Luciano) Tirri(1972); devoted brother of Adolph “Tuffy” Tirri of Wayne and Helen Thomas and her husband Charles of Wayne, brother of the late Carmela Tirri(1985), the late Pat Tirri(1996), the late Fred Tirri(2007); he was the cherished uncle of many nieces and nephews.
