MILLINOCKET and STATE COLLEGE, Pa. – Alfonso James “Alfie” Moscone, 95, passed away Sunday, June 15, 2008, Father’s Day, in State College, Pa. He was born March 30, 1913, in Millinocket, and was the last surviving member of three sons, Arthur and Edmund; and two daughters, Mary and Roma, born to Michael and Erminia (de Mayo) Moscone. He was predeceased by his loving wife of 70 years, Eileen, just two and one half months ago, and they will be buried together, at the same time, as was their lifelong wish. Alfie was reported to be the oldest member of the Knights of Columbus in the state of Maine. He was a member of Civilian Conservation Corps during the Great Depression. After the Civilian Conservation Corps, he was employed by Great Northern Paper Co., Millinocket, for 44 years. Alfie’s life was his family. After work he would never fail to walk through the door at 4:10 to sit down and have a “toddy” with his doting wife, and listen to what his boys did that day. He loved to garden, hunt and go to camp. Alfie and Eileen built the family camp together by hand. Alfie will be remembered as a kind man, who never said a bad word about anyone. He is survived by his five sons, Ken Moscone and his wife, Kathleen (Civiello), of State College, Pa., John Moscone and his wife, Sharon (Berube), of Rochester, N.H., Tom Moscone of Lawrence, Mass., Tim Moscone of Millinocket and Peter Moscone and his wife, Iris, of Miami. In addition to his immediate family, he leaves seven grandchildren, 12 great-grandchildren, and numerous nieces, nephews and cousins. Friends are invited to visit with the family 6-8 p.m. Sunday at Lamson Funeral Home, 11 Tamarack St., Millinocket, where the officers and members of St. Martin of Tours Council No. 680, Knights of Columbus, will conduct a prayer service 7 p.m. A Mass of Christian burial will be celebrated 10 a.m. Monday, June 23, at St. Martin of Tours Catholic Church, 112 Maine Ave., Millinocket, with the Rev. Joel Cyr, pastor, presider. A joint committal service will be after for Alfie and Eileen at Millinocket Cemetery.
