Louis Thomas Guarino (“Twinnie”) age 87 of Orange, CT, husband of the late Rose Marie Guarino, passed away peacefully on March 10th, 2019 in the West Haven VA Medical Center. Born in New Haven on April 30th, 1931, he was the son of the late Pasquale and Adeline Guarino. After graduating from Hillhouse High School, Lou enlisted in the United States Air Force and served during the Korean War.
Lou was very proud of his Italian heritage and treasured his experiences of growing up on Legion Avenue. Decades later to bring old neighbors together he co-founded The LA Reunion. He was a long time member of the West Haven Italian American Club where for many years he was the Thursday night Bingo caller.
He enjoyed the company of good friends who in turn loved being around him for his quick wit and humor often bringing people to tears with laughter. Dad was a simple jolly man who had a twinkle in his eye and a whistle on his lips. You’d hear the happy tune of his whistling before you even saw him coming. Simply, he enjoyed life.
He was predeceased by his brothers, Anthony, Joseph, Alphonse, and twin brother William “Monk” and his son-in-law, Craig Hoffer. He leaves behind his son Michael (Susana) Guarino, Hoboken, NJ, his daughter, Lori Hoffer Woodbridge, grandchildren, Michael (Elisabeth) Guarino, Jr., Katie (John) DeLeo, Jennifer and Jessica Hoffer, and three great grandchildren.
