Vito Amato passed away peacefully in his sleep on June 6, 2020. He was 88 years old. Born on February 9, 1932 in Carini, Palermo, Italy. He was the last surviving of six brothers and sisters.
He is survived by his wife of 59 years; Rosa Purpura Amato: his children; Natale and his wife Mariella, Antonella and her husband Pietro, Antonio and his wife Nunzia, and Rosalba and her husband Francesco: and his ten grandchildren; Vito, Gabriella, Fabio, Giulian, Ivan, Noah, Isabella, Mirko, Alexia, and Mia. In Italy he worked at a telephone company. He migrated to the United States in 1982 and moved to Hummelstown, where he worked and owned JoJo’s Pizza. His passion until the end was working on his garden and spending time with his grandchildren. A man of few words but was known by all for his wise advise, Italian proverbs, and tongue twisters. He will be greatly missed, but his family and friends have comfort in knowing he is watching over everyone from his garden in heaven. Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Thursday, June 11 at 11:00am in St Joan of Arc Church 359 West Areba Avenue, Hershey. Entombment will be in Resurrection Cemetery following the mass. In lieu of flowers donations can be made to Compassionate Care Hospice https://www.amedisys.com/services/hospice-care/volunteers-and-donations/ Share condolences with the family at www.hooverfuneralhome.com.
