Aniello "Lou" Napolitano

Aniello “Lou” Napolitano, 74, of Portland, passed away at his home on December 20, 2022. He was born in Portland on January 19, 1948, son of the late Aniello L. Napolitano and Phyllis G. Webber. Lou attended Buxton schools and was a graduate of Bonney Eagle High School class of 1966. Right out of high school, he enlisted in the United States Army and served in Vietnam. In 1970, he was honorably discharged and came back to the US. Then, he married Judy Cox of Portland in 1972. Two years later his only daughter, the center of his universe Angela, was born. He re-enlisted in the Army a year after that in 1975. Lou and Judy later divorced in 1979 but remained the best of friends. Lou officially retired from the US Army in 1992. He made it his life’s work to serve his country and was a proud veteran. After retiring he worked for several years as an ROTC recruitment officer. Upon retiring he also developed a passion for golf, working at several golf courses, and visiting Myrtle Beach annually to go golfing with his friends and family. He was a great storyteller with an amazing sense of humor. He could entertain and make his family laugh for hours on end. His jokes, stories and kind demeanor will be sorely missed by all who were lucky enough to know him. In June of 2020, Lou became sick. His daughter Angela moved from North Carolina back home to Maine, to take care of him until the very end.
