Armand A. Sisti age 87, of North Caldwell for over fifty years, died peacefully on Tuesday, June 29, 2010 at home with the comfort of family by his side.
His parents, Frank Sisti and Mary DiIorio came to the United States, on their honeymoon. They arrived on November 15, 1921 on a ship called the Taormina which sailed from Naples, Italy to Ellis Island, New York. They settled in Paterson, NJ and began their family.
Armand was born and raised in Paterson having attended Eastside High School with the Class of 1940. After high school he attended Ursinus College, Collegeville, PA and was drafted into the US Army during his freshman year. He began his service to his country on February 26, 1943 and attained the rank of Staff Sergeant with the 12th Armored Division before being discharged in 1946. Having served in Central Europe and Rhineland he was awarded the European African Middle Eastern Campaign Medal, the American Campaign Medal, Good Conduct Medal and the World War II Victory Medal. After his military service he attended Texas A&M before settling on the Newark College of Engineering where he received his Bachelor of Science Degree in Chemical Engineering.
His entire career was spent with the Pennwalt Corporation of Belleville where he worked for thirty eight years before retiring in 1988 as the VP of International Operations.
Armand was a person who enjoyed the many challenges that Life offered him. He was tireless in pursuing his many interests, from creating household projects for himself as well as the family, to travelling the world both with his work and in his retirement. Focused and knowledgeable, we all respected him for his insights. A great mentor, but also a tease and a prankster, finding many of his victims amongst family members! He enjoyed his travelling immensely, across Europe, Africa, Asia, South America, Canada and the United States. During his travels, he always made time to visit with his children as life brought them to many different parts of the world. And back home, his heart was deeply committed to the well-being of his large extended family. We will miss him.
He was the beloved husband of Rosemarie (Heimann) Sisti; loving father of Richard Sisti of Auribeau, France and Karen Thompson and her husband Peter of London & Dorset England; cherished grandfather of Olivia, Georgina and Edward Thompson; loved brother of Robert Sisti of Wayne, Frank Sisti and his wife Flora of Randolph, the late William Sisti(2007) and his surviving wife Victoria Sisti of Wayne and the late Josephine Chakiris(1990); much loved uncle to many nieces and nephews.
