Obituary of Thomas Marghella

Thomas Marghella, age 91, of Bridgeport, beloved husband of Teresina Arlia Marghella, died peacefully with his family by his side on Tuesday, July 19, 2016. Tommy was born in Vadi, Italy, the son of the late Luigi and Teresa Provenzano Marghella and settled in the Bronx, then raised his family in Bridgeport. A United States Army World War II veteran of the 95th Infantry Division, he fought at the Battle of the Bulge. Because many of his fellow soldiers died, he did not talk much about the war. We knew he was proud to have served. He was a retired Produce Manager for A&P Supermarket. He was very proud of his summer garden and enjoyed watching his favorite team, the NY Yankees. He cherished all the time he spent with his great-grandchildren playing baseball and going on family vacations. In addition to his wife of 67 years, survivors include his loving children, Maria Domack, Angela Marghella and Anthony Marghella, grandchildren, Jason Domack and his wife, Celia, Jennifer Artman and her husband, Ron, four great-grandchildren, Michael and Kevin Domack, Ronnie and Ryan Artman, brother-in-law and sisters-in-law, Alfred and Nicolina Bossio, Aida Marghella and wonderful nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his brothers, Valentino and Frank Marghella, his daughter-in-law, Deborah Marghella and his brother-in-law and sister-in-law, Guglielmo and Angela Veltri. All funeral services were held privately and entombment took place in St. Michael Cemetery, Stratford.
