Visco, Luigi "Lou" Philip
Luigi “Lou” Philip Visco, 78, of Wallingford, formerly of Windsor, beloved husband of the late Katherine Joan Dahler Visco, passed away peacefully on Thursday, September 2, 2021.
Lou was born in Honolulu, HI, son of the late Luigi and Lyda (Hemeniz) Visco, and lived in Hawaii before moving to Portland, ME at age 12. He
graduated from New London High School, Class of '61, and received his Bachelor's degree from the University of Connecticut, taking a hiatus from 1964-1968
to proudly serve his country in the United States Army during the Vietnam War. Lou then earned his Master's degree from the University of Bridgeport in 1974. After college, Lou was employed in a variety of Industrial Engineering and Management positions in several different states before retiring in 2003 from UTC/Hamilton Sundstrand after many years of service as an Information Systems Advisor. Lou believed his strongest asset was "working with people at all levels to get results." He was a firm believer in the proverb that "People make or break a company," and he made it his mission to strengthen a company's management team and its ability to get results. Lou did his best to be successful in his management endeavors. He was the proud inventor of two patents and was also a certified member of the American Production & Inventory Control Society (APICS).
Lou loved engineering and technology, and built his own color TV with the correspondence course he took in electronics in the 70s. He also loved computer programming and bought his first computer years before everyone else even started thinking about them. In his spare time, he loved to work around the house, doing the inside and outside chores, home maintenance, car repair, and enjoyed the variety of flowers he grew in his garden.
Lou believed that you are accountable for what you do in this life, and how you interact with one another, and the things that are here. He believed that there is a great spirit and a not so good spirit. He believed that
you should forgive those who have hurt you, not for what they did, but for their ignorance and their lack of understanding and enlightenment. He believed that you are imperfect, but you will improve before you leave here; and believed that the rest is up to God.
Lou is survived by his daughters, Christine Visco and Tamara Visco, both of California; his brothers, Larry
Visco and Andrew Visco; his sister, Catherine Visco; and other relatives and friends.
In addition to his parents and his wife, Katherine, he was predeceased by his sister, Philomine Scavelli.
His burial was private in Mount St. Benedict Cemetery, Bloomfield.
Lou wished for donations to be made to disabled veterans and veterans in need, those who have suffered due to war and conflicts, the homeless, and to organizations that promote peace in this world.
