Enrico, also known as Henry John to his friends in Canada and the USA, was born in Bernalda, Italy on October 1, 1927, to Vincenzo Antonio Palummieri and Giuseppina Palummieri, nee Gallotta. The oldest of six children, he is predeceased by his beloved parents, brother Dante Palummieri, and sisters Anna Maria Palummieri, Laura Silvestri, and Concetta Massimiani, leaving behind cherished memories in their absence.

Additionally, he leaves behind his adored grandchildren Olivia, Joseph, Michael, Gabriel, Erica, and Matthew, as well as four beautiful great grandchildren, Kane, Maeve, Wren, and Henry. He will be greatly missed by his brother, Pasquale Palummieri and by his large extended family.

Enricos Heimgang macht mich sehr betroffen!

Wie schön, dass wir uns 2019 in Österreich gesehen haben!!!!
Nun bin ich in Gedanken bei euch gewesen und sende euch hiermit mein herzliches Beileid!
Ich wünsche euch viel Kraft für die nächste Zeit. Es werden euch viele, viele gemeinsame Erlebnisse einfallen, die es zu erzählen gibt. Zusammen zu lachen und zu weinen wird euch stark machen.
Umarme euch liebe Gisela, Rossana und Enrico mit euren Familien/Kindern.

I will never forget the fun we had together. Loved Enrico dearly. Big hugs <3
Ein lächelndes Gesicht mit Lachfalten an dem Augen bleiben mir (uns) immer in Erinnerung.
In Gedanken und mit dem Herzen sind wir bei euch!
I’m so sorry to have missed Rosanna’s message with this sad news till just now. Unfortunately neither of my parents is able to retain anything new but I remember the respect and fondness they had for Enrico.
