Angelo S. Moschella

Family & friends are invited to attend visiting hours on Wednesday, March 8th from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. in the Vertuccio & Smith, Home for Funerals, 773 Broadway (Rte. 107), REVERE, for Ret. Revere Deputy Fire Chief Angelo S. Moschella, who died most unexpectedly while on vacation in Inverness, Florida, on Tuesday, February 28th at his Florida residence. His funeral will be held from the Funeral Home on Thursday, March 9th at 10:00 a.m., followed by a funeral mass in the Immaculate Conception Church (Corner of Beach St. & Winthrop Ave.), REVERE at 11:00 a.m., and immediately followed by interment at Woodlawn Cemetery, Everett.

Born & raised in Revere, Deputy Chief Moschella, was an alumnus of Revere High School, Class of 1942. He entered the U.S. Navy in January of 1943 and served until February of 1946, as a Motor Machinists Mate-lst Class. He would later return to school & succeed as a mechanical engineer. His citations from the U.S. Navy included, WWII Victory Medal, American Theater Medal, Good Conduct Medal, Amphibious Force Insignia: Asiatic-Pacific Medal and the Philippine Liberation Medal. He entered the Revere Fire Department in 1950 and worked his way to the position of Deputy Fire Chief. Considering the times and the preferences against Italian American candidates, the accomplishment as a Deputy Fire Chief was considered almost impossible. He would serve the Fire Department for over 35 years. Both Deputy Chief Moschella & his late beloved wife Antoinetta R. “Netta” (Casella) Moschella, were for many years, devotees of the Immaculate Conception Parish Community. “Netta” passed on June 4, 2015. Deputy Chief Moschella & “Netta” sustained an overwhelming grief, on April 5, 2004, when God called their “Robbie”, a special needs angel, back home to heaven. Although, Robbie was just 37 years, he left a resounding mark on not only their lives, but many many lives across the city and state. The Moschella’s maintained their active membership with the Revere Special Needs program, until their deaths.

Mr. Moschella is the devoted father to Dr. William A. Moschella, DMD & his wife Eileen of Lynn, M. Linda Doherty & her husband Russell E. of Revere & the late Robert S.”Robbie” Moschella. He is the cherished grandfather of William A. Moschella Jr. of Minneapolis, Mn., Justin A. Moschella of Tampa, Fl., Keri-Ann Brugge & her husband Matthew of Eau-Claire, Wisconsin, Brian R. & Jason M. Doherty, both of Revere. Dear brother of Sarah T. Riley of Revere & the late Revere Fire. Cpt. Michael Moschella, Lena Pitrone, Anthony Moschella, Margaret Dipietro, Gerard & Carmine Moschella. He is also lovingly survived by many nieces & nephews.
