Obituary for
Michael John Ianniello
MIchael Ianniello (October 5, 1928-October 10, 2015)
After a debilitating stroke in June, passed away peacefully in his home and in his sleep. He was the beloved husband of Susan for 57 years, the devoted father of Peter (Nick), MIchael (Debbie) and Louis (Laura), and the loving brother-in-law of Maryann Crudo. He was the adored grandfather of Sandra, Victoria and Isabelle.
Mikey was born in Harlem to Francesa and Pietro Ianniello and moved to the Bronx in 1945 to the family home on Dudley Avenue. He is predeceased by his brother, Tom and his sister Angie and is survived by his sisters, Mary and Jennie. For thirty years, he worked as a doorman/elevator operator at a large Manhattan apartment building, which he called his second home. He loved his job and the people he got to meet. He retired in 1995.
He loved the music of the Big Band Era and every old time actor and movie on the TCM channel. We will miss him terribly.
In honor of his wishes, there will be no wake. The funeral mass will take place on Tuesday, October 13th at St. Theresa Church, 2855 St. Theresa Avenue, Bronx, NY 10461 at 10:00am.
