Aldo A. Lain Sr.

Lain, Aldo A., 91, of Palisades Park, died peacefully at his home while surrounded by his loving family. He leaves behind his devoted wife of 67 years, Yolanda (DeRosso), daughters Suzy, Lorraine, Mary Ann, and son Aldo Jr., as well as a sister, Norma, of Piombino, Italy, nieces & nephews and their families, who all reside in Italy. He was predeceased by brother, Guiseppe, of Thiene, Italy and sister, Esterina, of Montichiari, Italy. Aldo is also survived by six grandchildren and two great grandchildren. Born June 27, 1925 in the mountain town of San Vito di Leguzzano in the Veneto Region of Northern Italy, young Aldo turned his love of the outdoors into a career, training and serving as a Forest Ranger, “Guardia Forestale”, throughout many regions of Italy. In 1951 though, he followed his sweetheart and wife, Yole, to the USA where her family had previously emigrated. Not being able to work as a Forest Ranger here in the States due to lack of citizenship, he turned his considerable mechanical skills to the textile industry in which he was adept as a master weaving loom repair foreman. He worked for the Cosentino Company of Paterson, NJ until his retirement at the age of 64. Aldo took great pride in his hard work, and trained himself in the many aspects of his employment. Aldo was dedicated to his church and community, serving as an usher during Sunday services for 45 years at St. Michaels RC Church in Palisades Park, as well as serving in many volunteer capacities both there and in the adjoining school. He was a devoted member of the Holy Name Society and proud of his service as Past Grand Knight of the Archbishop Thomas J. Walsh Knights of Columbus Council #3550, in Palisades Park. While not working at his job or serving his church & community, Aldo greatly enjoyed large family gatherings, where there was always singing around the dinner table while enjoying the wine and grappa that he’d make at home. He loved fishing and was a huge fan of soccer, watching televised games nearly incessantly. Around the table at night, he would enjoy playing the Italian card game Scopa…especially when he won! Family and friends are invited for visitation on Wednesday from 2-4PM and 7-9PM at Volk Leber Funeral Home, 789 Teaneck Road, Teaneck, NJ. A funeral service will begin on Thursday at 9AM from the funeral home, and then to St. Michael’s RCC, Palisades Park, NJ for a 10 AM Mass of Christian Burial. Interment to follow at George Washington Memorial Park, Paramus, NJ. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation in Aldo’s name to the Regional Cancer Center at Holy Name Medical Center c/o The Holy Name Medical Center Foundation, 718 Teaneck Rd, Teaneck NJ 07666, or https://www.holyname.org/foundation/donation.aspx
