Mr. Troianello ( "Louie" ) was one of twelve children born to Alphonse and Antoinette Troianello and survived by brothers, John, Anthony, Robert; and sisters, Josephine Lajeunesse, Rose Lemmerman and Anna Troianello. Louie was born and raised in Madison, NJ, where he started his professional career at A. Troianello Florists. Louie also served in the United States Navy, aboard the ice-breaker U.S.S. Atka (AGB-3), and was a member of the Royal Order of the Blue Nose, having crossed both Arctic Circles during Operation Deep-Freeze II in 1956 and 1957. Much of his adult life was spent in Tyler Hill, PA, near Honesdale, PA, raising his family; and employed both at a local rope factory and a cabinet making shop. In his younger years, Louie was active in the local community, in 4-H, helping to coach youth and women's softball teams, as a member of the Cochecton Men's Club, and volunteering many years by helping "Santa Claus." Louie enjoyed his retirement years among family, and his many friends at Dutton's Place Diner in Tyler Hill. His love, friendship, and his well-known antics at the Diner will be missed by all.
