Ferzoco, Bruno G. 80, of Westwood, formerly of Dedham, passed away with his loving family by his side on September 24, 2018.
He is survived by his loving wife Maria (Teti), his children: Dr. Victor Ferzoco and daughter-in-law Dr. Fern Wirth of Wellesley, Dr. Stephen Ferzoco and girlfriend Karyn Kenney of Wellesley, and Esther (Ferzoco) Bertrand and son-in-law Matthew Bertrand of Westwood, MA., and his brother, Cleto Ferzoco of Medford, MA. He was the devoted Papa to Nicole, Brian, Michael and Ethan Ferzoco of Wellesley and Adam and Sophia Bertrand of Westwood.
Born in Corfinio, Italy, he was the son of the late Vittorio and Esterina (Fallavollita) Ferzoco of Hyde Park. He emigrated to the US in 1956, and met his beloved wife Maria of 55 years by taking her to her prom. He served in the US army before raising a family in Hyde Park. His hard work ethic eventually led him to starting several businesses in the area. He was a Dedham resident for over 30 years before retiring to Westwood MA. Gardening was his great passion as he planted everything from vegetables to flowerbeds to rose gardens, and he took joy in sharing his bounty with others. His skills as a handyman led to fabrication of items for his family, including a shed, garden beds, a dollhouse, and sandboxes for grandchildren. He will be remembered by his kind, gentle manner, generous heart and smiling face.
