Virginian-Pilot  September 23, 1973
NORFOLK — Gesualdo Esposito, 100, of 6713 Granby St., one of Norfolk’s oldest and 
best known Italian-American citizens, died Saturday in a hospital.
He was born Feb. 2, 1873, in Naples, a son of Gesualdo Esposito and Mrs. Theresa 
Grimaldi Esposito. He was the husband of the late Mrs. Olimpia Mosca Esposito.
He came to the United States in 1905 and moved shortly afterward to Norfolk.
Before his retirement, he was a produce merchant in the old Norfolk City Market.
He was a member of Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church and a charter member of Roma 
Lodge of Norfolk.
When he celebrated his 100th birthday anniversary, he received telegrams and 
letters of congratulation from President Nixon, Virginia Gov. Linwood Holton, the 
Rt. Rev. John J. Russell, former Bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Richmond, and 
other notables.
He is survived by three daughters, Miss Albina C. Esposito, Mrs. Theresa E. 
Morris, and Mrs. John Russell Tucker of Norfolk; two sons, Henry L. Esposito of 
Norfolk and Alfonso R. T. Esposito of Bethesda, Md.; and a grandson, John Russell 
Tucker Jr. of Norfolk.
The body was taken to H. D. Oliver Funeral Apartments.
