Obituary for Felix Mario Del Greco Jr.
Felix Mario Del Greco Jr. passed away peacefully in his home on December 6, 2021 and the sun now shines less brightly. His absence leaves a daughter without a dinner companion, best friends without a bar-mate, a card game without a player, a dog without loving attention, a hat and scarf hanging, and a cigar without a hand to hold it.
Felix was a devoted husband and father whose family adored him. He gave his everything to ensure their happiness and success, only asking for love in return¬- and he was so very loved. Felix is predeceased by the loves of his life – wife, Claire R. Del Greco and son, Sgt. Felix M. Del Greco, Jr. with whom he is now reunited. Felix is also predeceased by his mother and father, Angela Del Greco and Felix Del Greco Sr.; and sister, Angela Parent.
He is survived by his daughter, Alexa Del Greco, who will miss him forever and his best little buddy and “grandpup”, Parker. Other surviving family include his brother, Joseph Del Greco, his sister, Anabela Beaupre, and many cousins, nieces and nephews.
Felix was an alumnus of Tulane University and thrilled us with stories of his many youthful adventures. He was a lifelong resident of Connecticut and was the President of Del Greco Agencies, Inc., proudly serving the community of Hartford for over 40 years. Felix also founded a memorial scholarship in honor of his son which has contributed, to date, over $300,000 to help young adults in achieving their educational goals. Felix believed in making a positive impact on the world. He fulfilled that philosophy and was well respected by his clients and all those whose lives he touched.
Felix was a faithful friend and was blessed with many cherished friendships. The Del Greco family wishes to thank Ricky Blodgett, Chip Vignone, Eddie and Regina Leonard, Deborah Evans, Joanne Jolley, Maria Pereira, Filomena Bellizzi, Mario Rebelo, Dennis Chiu, Father Jorge, and the entire Cronin family (and so many others) for their devotion over the years to the guy that loved them selflessly. You’ve been an amazing support system and you’ve brought Felix so much comfort and joy.
Felix had a tremendous love for life, and he shared that joy freely. He was a caring soul that would give the shirt off his back for anyone in need. He celebrated each day as a blessing and often did so by buying a round for his buddies. In his last days, Felix’s advice to his daughter was, “Enjoy life. It’s too short”. In that spirit, let’s raise a glass to Felix. You are loved.
The Del Greco family invites you to join us in celebrating Felix’s amazing life. Funeral mass will be held Tuesday (December 14), 10:00 am at Our Lady of Fatima, 50 Kane Street, Hartford, CT 06106. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Sgt. Felix M. Del Greco, Jr. Memorial Scholarship Fund: CTNGF, State Armory – Room 101, 360 Broad Street, Hartford, CT 06105.
