Attilio Q. Crisafulli

Loudonville-Attilio Q. Crisafulli, 87, entered Eternal Life Monday, May 31, 2021 with his loving family watching over him. Born in Antillo, Messina, Sicily he was the son of the late Joseph and Domenica Curto Crisafulli. Attilio emigrated to the United States with his family in 1949 and became a proud naturalized citizen in 1959. He became a true patriot of his new country by serving in the United States Army. Attilio went on to share in the American Dream by having a beautiful family, and success in business. He was president for almost 50 years of both A. & I. Crisafulli General Contractors, and Crisafulli Realty. He was a longtime member of the West Albany Italian American Benevolent Society. And although Attilio enjoyed playing cards, traveling, and gardening, his greatest pleasures came from spending time with his wife, children, grandchildren and other family members. He was the loving husband for 63 years of Italia Sanfilippo Crisafulli, whom he married on August 4, 1958; beloved father of Dr. Joseph A. Crisafulli (Rosemarie) and Lisa P. Bedian (George); cherished grandfather of Joseph D. Crisafulli (Katie), Dr. Maura Kate Crisafulli, Taramarie Rose Crisafulli, Daniel G. Bedian and Thomas J. Bedian; great grandfather of Joseph F.
