Angelo Fortugno

Angelo Fortugno, a long time resident of Yonkers died peacefully on September 10, 2019  at Vassar Brothers Medical Center in Poughkeepsie at the age of 88. The proud son of Italian immigrants, Arcangelo Fortugno and Lauretta Fortugno (Giordano), he was born February 9, 1931 in the Bronx, NY, the youngest of seven children all of whom pre-deceased him.
