La Vigna Obituaries
Much too often as we celebrate this circle of life, we have to deal with the inevitable loss of one of our close friends or relatives. As natural as this process is, it is never easy to part with those whose lives have become intertwined with ours on so many levels.
In our remembrance of them through obituaries and funerary ceremonies, with give air to our grief and say our last good-byes.
We present these obituaries to help those who loved a chance to remember fondly and those who didn't know them well can get a sense for who they were in life.
We hope the somber tone of the subject matter is brightened by the celebration of the lives of these individuals.
Robert Immordino, Family Patriarch, Passes Peacefully At 94
Submitted by mackimouse on Sat, 06/27/2009 - 23:00Robert B. Immordino, husband of Jennie Bilancio Immordino, slipped peacefully from this life on June 27th, 2009, at the University Medical Center of Princeton, where he was being treated for problems stemming from renal failure.
Bob has been the elder statesman of the Bilancio family for many years and was a driving force behind La Vigna as well as being a historian whose grasp of history from the American Revolution through modern times was unrivaled.
Bob's prolific energies were apparent to anyone who knew him as he took on new projects constantly even as he moved through his nineties.
He championed the cause of American-Italians everywhere as well as being a very active supporter of the rights of the working man to unionize.
Mr. Immordino was a Navy World War II veteran, having served on the USS Mt. Olympus and USS Mt. McKinley in the Pacific Theater. He was a member of the American Legion Post 414 and before his passing was the oldest veteran in Lawrenceville. He regularly attended USS Mount McKinley Association reunions.
