Michael J. Lovullo, age 90 of Wayne, died on Sunday, January 4, 2009 at the Sunrise Assisted Living in Wayne.
He was born in Brooklyn, NY, and remained a lifelong resident of Ridgewood, NY, St. Matthias Parish, before moving to Wayne just six months ago. He and his wife Rose also had a residence in Deerfield Beach Florida where they vacationed for the past nineteen years together.
He was employed as a distributor for Motor Information Systems of Troy Michigan from 1948 until his retirement in 1993 at age seventy five.
Michael served in the US Army, 179th Infantry Division, during World War II. He was decorated with the European-African-Middle Eastern Theater Campaign Medal and received a special citation directly from General Clark in Italy for Progress in Battle. He participated in the invasions of Sicily and Salerno, and the Battle of Bloody Ridge in Sicily.
He was a past Commander of the American Legion, a member of the Sons of Italy, and a member of the Cornell Rod and Gun Club.
Michael was an avid hunter for many years. He enjoyed going deer hunting in Green County, New York, often with his sons. He also loved horseback riding and owned a horse, Missile, which he kept in Westchester County for many years. An accomplished Bocci Ball player, Michael won several awards in Florida and New York for his skill at the game. Golf however, was most likely his favorite pastime, providing him with many hours of enjoyment. He would play at courses all over New York and Florida.
Michael’s sons recall wonderful family vacations, almost always up to the Catskills, where they would stay at the Westmere in Wyndham, NY and later to Pine Springs in Freehold, NY. Their vacations would always begin with one week of relaxation at a resort and then one week driving and visiting historic US forts, such as Fort Ticonderoga. They are left with many comforting memories to treasure for years to come.
Michael met his beloved wife Rose in 1945, when they had their first date. They drove to Sunnyside, Queens and visited a local place called Horseshoe Bar. Then it was off to the Roseland Dance Hall where they especially enjoyed dancing to the “Peabody”. Sixty two wonderful years of marriage were to follow that date, full of cherished memories. Rose will tell you that they weren't just 'married' for sixty two years; they were deeply in love for all those years.
Michael is survived by his loving wife Rose (nee Colletti) of Wayne, two sons; Michael Lovullo and his wife Marguerite of Wayne and Daniel Lovullo and his wife Maureen of Campbell Hall, NY, and two grandchildren; Daniel Lovullo of Campbell Hall, NY and Michael Lovullo of Brooklyn, NY.
