Louis Pellegrino Sr. departed our earthly world on June 11, 2021, to the place where his faith assured him he would be reunited with all of his loved ones past and present.

Louis was born to Rosa and Ausilio Pellegrino on October 9, 1934. The seventh child in a family of eight, he grew up in the colorful world of Brooklyn, NY along with his 4 brothers, James, Benjamin, Phillip, Anthony and his 3 sisters, Augustina, Diana and Elizabeth.

After completing school, Louis enlisted in the US Air Force during the Korean conflict and served several overseas tours. During his last tour in Germany, he met, courted and married his loving wife of 63 years, Liselotte (Lotte). The couple had 2 sons, Louis Jr. and Robert James, who along with Lotte, his 4 grandchildren and 3 great grandchildren all survive Louis’ passing.

Louis led a life of service to others that encompassed his country, family, community and faith. For greater than 30 years Louis served as an Elder within the Jehovah’s Witness family in Leesburg, FL. In his capacity as Elder, he was widely admired for his wisdom, compassion, selflessness, mentoring of others and dedication to serving as a role model for others within his congregation and circuit.

It was Louis’ wish to be remembered as a vital conscious soul and that any memorial services be kept simple and inclusive. As such, there will be a “virtual” memorial held in his memory on Saturday, June 26. The Memorial will be delivered via a Zoom Remote Meeting at 2PM Eastern Time. The following Zoom credentials will permit you to join our celebration of Louis’ life and legacy.

The Pellegrino Family hopes you can spend a few moments with us to remember the father, the husband, the son, the brother and the good man that Louis was while he walked among us on our beautiful earth.
