Antonio Bilotta
May 24, 1928 – December 6, 2023
Antonio Bilotta, 95, of Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, passed away peacefully on December 6, 2023. Born on May 24, 1928, in Francavilla Angitola, Calabria, Italy, he was the son of Francesco Bilotta and Barbara Decaria, and the beloved brother of Maria.
He is survived by his devoted wife Vittoria of 65 years, their three sons Frank, Mario, and Ozzie (Kristy). Cherished grandchildren Anthony (Brittany), Andrew (Weiyi) Grace (Joe) and Paul, along with his great grandchildren Joey, Elliana, and Leo.
A man of quiet strength and deep devotion, Antonio built a life grounded in family, faith, and hard work. From humble beginnings in a small southern Italian village where he grew up during the Great Depression, endured the hardships of World War II, served in the military, and married, he eventually immigrated to the United States. Settling in New Rochelle, New York (which he proudly called home for 70 years) he became a homeowner, a skilled barber and tailor, and a successful business owner on top of a career in Teledyne Hydropower for 25 years.
He will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by all who had the blessing of knowing him.
