Loreto Ferazzoli age 84, of Boynton Beach, Florida passed away on June 9, 2022 surrounded by his family. He is survived by his loving wife Mafalda and four children: Loreto Ferazzoli Jr. (Diane), Diana DeSantis (Lee), Liliana Richardson (Robert), and Adriana Ferazzoli. He was the proud Nonno of twelve grandchildren and three great granddaughters.

Loreto was born in Monte San Giovanni Campano, Italy on September 6, 1937 to Orazio and Pasqua. He lived in Italy with his four siblings (Antonio, Maria "Rita", Rosario, and Mario) until 1956, when his family moved to Jamaica, New York. On October 21, 1961, he married his one and only love, Mafalda Buttarazzi. In 1975, they moved to Boynton Beach, Florida where they continued to raise their family.

Loreto worked alongside his brothers in the construction/marble and tile importing industry for over 70 years. He was an avid sports fan and talented musician.  He had a passion for gardening, bowling, and taking his family on summer road trips.

Loreto loved being a Nonno and adored his grandchildren immensely. He was always in the audience for every sporting event, awards ceremony, dance recital, musical performance, or just waiting for them to arrive to his house for Sunday lunch so he could make his famous "cappuccinos in a boot".

Loreto's love for his family and friends was felt by all who were blessed to know him. Uncle Larry's house was always open to welcome anyone to join him at his bar to share a drink, make an espresso, tell his funny jokes and heartwarming stories. His memory is forever etched on the hearts of all who were blessed to know him.

In lieu of flowers, family and friends may consider donating to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Loreto's name.
