My Dear Dad and Best Friend...I miss you so much...

Alfredo DellaSavia born in Udine, Italy January 24, 1928 and immigrated to Miami, FL in 1947, via Alitalia Airline, Milan to New York (JFK), via Eastern Airlines New York (JFK), to Miami.

He was a WONDERFUL Husband and Father. He married and is survived by Dolores Jean Thompson, of Miami, FL in 1953 and they had 4 kids together and were married for over 65 years- -never a truer love and great father have I ever met. Survived by 4 children: Deborah (Debbie) G. DellaSavia Nishizaki, Anita E. DellaSavia, Alfredo M. DellaSavia and Hilda (Gina) DellaSavia Kelly.

He worked as a Master Mason Mechanic Supervisor with American Tile and Terrazzo, in Miami, FL, where he was a Master Mason and worked his craft with the Art of Terrazzo, Tile and Chattahoochee. He recreated beautiful Terrazzo designs in many buildings in Miami, FL; Downtown Miami, (Dadeland Mall--Black and White Terrazzo, that used to be in the main entrance in the 1980's)), Miami Beach, FL (Historic Fontainebleau Hotel.)

He was a Union Member of BAC Local 8, Southeast, International Union of Bricklayers and Allied Craftsman for over 50 Years and worked in his trade for 36 years.

Dad retired after a very successful career at the age of 55. My dad was multi-talented and built 3 houses in his lifetime. He could do anything and fix anything.

Dad will be forever loved and missed. I think about him everyday. His laughter, sense of humor, and historic ethnic Italian sayings I will always remember.

Until we meet again Dad.

Love you always, your Son,

Alfredo (Freddy) Michaele DellaSavia
