Louis H. Picone passed peacefully on Friday, August 29, 2014 at the age of 89. He was son of the late Manuella (Arpino) and Luigi Picone. Lou grew up and attended school in New Haven; he served in the Navy in Panama during WWII. A graduate of Providence College, he pursued a career in education. Lou worked as a teacher and principal in Orange Ct. for many years; he valued education and treasured his students and colleagues.
Lou met his wife Pat while teaching, and they married in 1959. They raised their family in Orange, where Lou lived until moving to Mashpee MA nine years ago. Lou delighted in his new life on Cape Cod, and loved participating in bocce and pool tournaments in his community.
Lou was a lover of family, God, music, dancing, sports, and was an avid fan of the UCONN women’s basketball team. He made friends everywhere he went, and a gentler soul has never been met.
He is predeceased by his beloved wife Patricia (Teta), his sister Angela Simone, and his brothers Anthony and Angelo. Lou leaves behind two daughters; Marisa Picone-Devine and her husband Dennis Devine of Mashpee, MA, and their two children Sarah and Ian, and a daughter Andrea Pilon and her husband Jerry of Milo, ME, and her three children Madeline, Isabel, and Gabriel. He is also survived by his brother Blase Picone and his wife Peg of Orange, CT, as well as many loving nieces and nephews.
The family would like to extend its utmost thanks to the staff of Hope Hospice on Cape Cod, as well as the kind and caring staff at the McCarthy Care Center.
