Departed: 04/20/2024 (Aston)

Obituary Preview: Pietro A. “Pete” Cifolelli, 89 of Drexel Hill, PA passed away peacefully at home, surrounded by his family on April 20, 2024.

He was the loving husband of Alessandra (Barile-Altobelli).

Pietro was born in Miranda, Italy, in the Province of Isernia. He traveled to the United States at the age of 15 as he was a U.S. citizen due to his mother (Santa) being born in the state of Oklahoma.  After his arrival in the U.S., Pietro was able to bring his immediate family (mother, father, sisters (Angiolina, Maria)) to live, thrive, and grow their families in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Pietro met his wife, Alessandra, in the Italian American community of South Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. They were married on May 27, 1961. They shared a unique connection to their Italian birthplaces; both were from two different mountain towns within the Molise region of Italy, less than six miles apart. They raised their five children in Philadelphia, eventually moving to Drexel Hill, Pennsylvania.

Pietro was a carpenter by trade, a member of the Carpenters Union Local 1050 for 65 years. He worked on many of our local Philadelphia “landmarks” like Veterans Stadium, the Blue Route, the EL, I-95 bridges, the PSFS building, and several other Center City high rises.

Pietro enjoyed growing an abundance of tomatoes, figs, vegetables, and herbs in his backyard garden. He also prided himself in his wine making abilities and then sharing the fruits of his labor with family and friends. He believed in teaching his family the value of hard work in leading by example.

In addition to his wife, Pietro is survived by his sister, Angiolina Barile; five children, Santa “Sandy” (Peter) Frattarelli, Gabriele (Elizabeth) Cifolelli, Orazio (Karen) Cifolelli, Francesco (Kathleen Gormley) Cifolelli, Mario (Carissa) Cifolelli; eleven grandchildren, Gabriel Cifolelli, Antonella (Raymond) Lamore, Olivia Frattarelli, Matthew Cifolelli, Stefano Frattarelli, Christopher Cifolelli, Grace Cifolelli, Nicholas Cifolelli, Alexander Cifolelli, Michael Cifolelli and Aidan Cifolelli; and two great-grandchildren, Liliana and Raymond Lamore. He is preceded in death by his parents, Orazio and Santa Cifolelli, his sister Maria Labella, his siblings Antonio and Maria (passed away in infancy), his brother-in-law Nicola Labella, and his brother-in-law Angelo Barile.

Floyd C. Lee, Jr. - September 19, 1944 - November 19, 2023

Departed: 11/19/2023 (Aston)

Obituary Preview: Floyd C. Lee Jr.

With great sorrow, we announce the loss of an exceptional man, Floyd C. Lee Jr. On Sunday, November 19th, Floyd passed peacefully at the age of 79 in his home surrounded by family after a long-fought battle with cancer. He is survived by his wife Anne Lee (nee Cresta), his children Floyd III (Sandy), Kevin (Patty), and Michele Brown (Bryan), his grandchildren Tyler Brown (Laura), Floyd IV, Allie, Erica Rose, Kevin, Justin Brown, and Madeline “Sunshine” Brown and his great grandchild Ryder Brown.

Born on September 19, 1944, in Philadelphia, he was the only son of Theresa and Floyd Sr. He was raised by his Grandmom Keenan and his aunts: Mommy Eleanor, Aunt Bonnie, and his “Sister” Aunt Pat in Grays Ferry. He attended St. Gabriel Elementary School and graduated from Bishop Newman High School in 1962. He gained five lifelong friends from 3TO. Floyd was a jack of all trades, starting his professional career at Boeing right out of high school.

In the summer of 1962, Floyd met Anne, the love of his life at the Lakes. They married two years later, on Aug 21, 1965, and began their 58 years of married life together on Etting Street. In marrying his true love, he gained the brother that he never had, Armand Cresta, otherwise known as “partner.” In 1967, Floyd changed his career path and became a fireman for Engine 65 of the Philadelphia Fireman's Department. Their family soon grew to include three beautiful children. In 1974, they moved to Mallard Place in Southwest Philly, where they stayed to raise their family.

As his children grew older, Floyd became more involved, becoming president of the St. Irenaeus CYO, and enjoyed participating in all youth sports and awards ceremonies. Even after a tragic accident that caused him to leave the fire department, you could always find him on the sidelines cheering on his children and the SIRS. During the week, Floyd operated a lunch truck, where his son Floyd played cashier. Following the all-day Saturday sports events spent at Penrose Park or the Bartram Field Track meets, he would invite the neighborhood to meet in his basement for a memorable and epic Lee party.

Every June, when school ended, he started his summer packing up and heading to the shore with his family. The summer memories began in the Villas on Star Avenue, then to Hand Avenue in Wildwood, finally settling on 23rd Street in North Wildwood, where he would find room for anyone who wanted to come, even sharing couches, floors, hallways, or any other place he could fit a friend. He ensured everyone had fun and enjoyed the 3 B’s: Breakfast, Beaching, and Boating. As he created a new home, he transitioned from the Mallard Place basement parties to the themed 2-3 street parties with the neighbors.

As the years passed, Floyd joined Kaiserman Enterprises as the facilities manager of the Springfield Mall. He stayed there for over 20 years as his children finished school and started their lives. He then moved to Radwyn Apartments in Bryn Mawr, PA as the property manager until his retirement. He spent the rest of his days in North Wildwood, NJ and Mullica Hill, NJ in his favorite job, a professional Pop-Pop and, most recently, a Great Grand Pop.

Floyd created lasting memories of long days at the beach boogie boarding and jumping waves, and even longer nights on the boardwalk riding every roller coaster in sight. He shared his favorite times on the boat, fishing, being the water ski instructor, and calling dolphins. He was a teacher, helping his grandkids learn to read, ride bikes, and drive. He was an artist, painting shells found on the beach and performing in endless talent shows and Karaoke sing along. Most importantly, he was a Pop-Pop, reading stories and giving the best hugs.

Floyds' wisdom is etched into each heart that he touches. The life lessons he instilled will allow his legacy to live on forever.
