THE CASEY FAMILY IS HONORED TO BE ASSISTING AND CARING FOR THE FAMILY OF AMERICO CORREIA
Devoted to God and his family
OAKVILLE - Mr. Americo Correia, 91, passed away peacefully surrounded by his loving family on June 9, 2019 at his home. He was the husband of the late Anna Evelyn Correia for 69 years.
Americo was born May 4, 1928 in Sao Bras Del Alportel, Portugal to the late Joao de Sousa and Maria de Concepcion Tome Correia. His family then relocated to Waterbury. In 1945, Americo joined the United States Navy, where he proudly served aboard the USS Monterey. After he was discharged, he delivered oil for Waterbury Petroleum Products for many years before working in multiple local factories. He eventually retired from Waterbury Swiss Automatics.
Americo was a man of deep faith, devoted to God. He was a communicant at Saint Mary Magdalen Parish and made many religious retreats. Family was most important to Americo. He enjoyed vacations with his daughter and her family, sightseeing, visiting amusement parks and spending time at the beach.
In addition to his loving wife and his parents, Americo is predeceased by his brother, Roy Correia.
