He was born on June 2nd, 1943 in Manhattan, to Ralph and Helen Milazzo. He was a tireless worker; he worked in the grocery store business for as long as anyone can remember.

He was a very loving father and “poppy” to his grandchildren and was selfless when it came to his family and friends.

In his earlier years, he enjoyed dining out with his beautiful wife, and watching boxing matches and Yankees games.  He is predeceased by the love of his life, his wife Sandra Swanson. He is survived by his sister Bernice Bzdewka; his children: Troy Hamburg, Amber Juelsgaard, Dean Milazzo, Giana Milazzo, Kirsten Perfilio, and Britt Young,13 grandchildren, and one great-grandchild. “Pop” will be sorely missed by all.
