  PALUMBO, Virgil G. 05/08/06 Daily American
  
   Virgil G. Palumbo, a lifelong resident of Windber, passed away on May 6, 2006 at
  Conemaugh Hospital. He was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Mary; his parents,
  Constantino and Anna Palumbo; sister, Nora Pierre; and brothers, Raymond, Arthur and
  John. He is survived by sons, David and Jim, husband of Janice; daughter, Olivia Moore
  and fiance, Bob Becker; grandchildren; Michael Moore and wife, Christy, Michelle Gearhart
  and husband, Brian, Kaitlyn and Kara Palumbo (the daughters of Jim and Janice);
  great-grandson, Dominic Gearhart, and two great-grandsons on the way. Survived by
  sisters-in-law, Ethel Palumbo, widow of Arthur; Eva Dill (Mary's sister), wife of James
  Dill; brother-in-law, Anthony DiGiulio and wife, Eleanor, and many nieces, nephews and
  friends. During World War II, Virgil was a sergeant in the U.S. Army assigned to the
  199th General Hospital. Employed for many years as a letter carrier for the U.S. Postal
  Service, Virgil enjoyed serving his customers and they, except for an occasional dog,
  enjoyed him. Virgil was a quiet and gentle man, who very much loved his family. But the
  love of his life was his wife, Mary. He lived for her and she for him. When Mom died on
  April 12, 2006, we greatly feared Dad would soon join her. He did to our overwhelming
  sorrow. We love you Dad; we love you Mom. Our only consolation is that you are together.
  But the sorrow will never cease until the inexorable flow of time unites us once more and
  the love we shared we share again. The family will receive friends from 2 to 4 and 7 to 9
  p.m. Monday at Meek and Dalla Valle Funeral Home Inc., Windber, where vigil for the
  deceased will be held. Funeral Mass at 10 a.m. Tuesday at St. Anthony of Padua Catholic
  Church, Windber. TOR Fransicans. Committal St. Anthony Mausoleum, Windber. Military
  graveside rite by Windber VFW Ritual Team.
