OBITUARY
Silvio (Sonny) Bellotti, 83, of New Hyde Park, died June 15, 2023, at Parker Jewish Rehabilitation Hospice. He died of complications from Pancreatic Cancer.
He was born on November 28, 1939, to Alessandro and Adele Bellotti in Brooklyn, New York.
Marrying Florence (Echer) Bellotti in 1976, they made a home together in New Hyde Park until her untimely death in 2004. Sonny remained in that home they made together.
He worked as a draftsman and engineer and retired from North American Phillips. While employed he received two patents, which he was most proud.
Sonny was a humble and funny, generous man who was loved by all who knew him.
Silvio loved to watch horse racing and golf; and liked to go to Atlantic City with his fellow seniors on bus trips. He also loved to go to his local bakery in the morning and get his large coffee and maybe a piece of pastry and talk with fellow retirees. After the bakery, he would make a stop at the local OTB to watch the races and see other friends. Sonny loved his Italian opera music, especially Nessun Dorma by Puccini.
Sonny is survived by his nephews Brian Roerden, Steven Roerden, Michael DeGasperi, Thomas DeGasperi and Mark DeGasperi along with his niece, Krista Obert-Thorn.

This is very late but I am so sorry to see that Sonny has passed away. Florence and my mother were distant cousins (their fathers were cousins). They were a wonderful couple and now they are together in heaven. May they rest in peace together. Sincerely, Mary Frunzi Rispoli (Gena and Gerard's daughter).
Sonny and I shared beautiful times in Atlantic City. We had great conversations over a few mudslides, amongst other things 😏 I'll never forget our time spent together
Sincerely,
That hot little number 💋
Silvio is now with Florence,the love of his life.

Silvio, Teresa and I had a lot of fun playing as children. This was especially true when we had our wonderful extended family dinners in the Village. We are at the service in spirit. Our love to all who shared our lives. Caesar, Sonja, Eddy Brunelli

We were heartbroken to learn of Silvio's passing. I know he will be sorely missed by all who loved him . .Silvio was a sweetheart and wonderful man. We are 86 + years old and are unable to come to the services. Our hearts go out to all in sympathy and love. He remains in our hearts and prayers. I would like to extend our thanks and appreciation to those who took great care of Silvio. God bless you
