Elvio Tropeano
Jan. 13, 1951 – Nov. 10, 2024
Age 73, of Dedham, MA
Son of Eugenio and Giuseppina of Avellino, Italy. Loving brother of Giorlormo, Mario, Gilda, Antonio, Carmela, Enrico, Alfonso, Maria and Vincenzo. Devoted father to Otavia, Bianca, Elvio, Alessio and Xavieria. Proud Papa to Garrison and Harvey. Best friend to Denise. Compassionate Zio to dozens. A giving friend to countless and an inspiration to everyone he met.
Selflessly loyal to his family and friends, and a dutiful servant to his clients and community, Elvio always gave more than expected in every facet of his life.
A leader by example, Elvio embodied the “Never Give Up” attitude, and always challenged his children with “What Good Can Complaining Do?” Those who knew him well, and even those who just met him, were touched by his genuine enthusiasm, eternal optimism and insatiable humor. His positive demeanor allowed us all to find the best within ourselves.
Simple, yet, sophisticated in an admirable way, Elvio taught us to cherish what mattered most. Loving family, meaningful friendships, quality education, hard work, and a selfless disposition are his ingredients for a life well lived.
“You don’t know if you’ll have tomorrow, so do the best you can today.” Expressions of love in his name may be made to The Boston Home, 2049 Dorchester Ave Boston, Massachusetts 02124.
