Rosario M. Correale Sr., 84, of the Bronx, New York, passed away on March 24, 2022. Rosario, known by family, friends and colleagues as “Ross,” grew up in Upper Manhattan, in the city that he loved. The East Harlem neighborhood was where he called home, married Ann Marie, the love of his life, and raised their six children. After a short stay in Los Angeles, the family moved to the Bronx in 1971, where he resided ever since. Born on October 19, 1937, to Armando and Theresa Correale, Ross was the first son of six children. Being the oldest, he mentored his younger brothers, Nicholas and Raymond, and carefully watched over his sisters, Michelina, Edith and Marie. Ross is predeceased by his parents, his brothers and sister, Michelina. He is survived by his loving wife of 63 years, Ann Marie; his sisters, Edith and Marie; his six children, Angela and her husband Kevin, Rosario Jr. and his wife Lisa, Denise and her husband Michael, Ann and her husband William, Raymond and his wife Diane, and Michael and his wife Marilyn; his twelve grandchildren, Jessica and her husband Jeff, Kevin and his wife Maria, Andrew, Christopher, Lauren, Stephen, Gabriella, Diana, Alexa, Anthony, Danielle and Glen; and his two great-grandchildren, Austin and Carter. Ross enjoyed a long career as a building services operator working in high-rise buildings throughout Manhattan. On the weekends during his earlier years, he could be found outside Saint Ann’s Church at 110th Street with his much-loved corner hotdog stand, providing delicious hotdogs for the neighborhood kids. The home-cooked onions were his specialty, and reportedly, most profits went into the bellies of his six little helpers. He also enjoyed cooking his infamous meatballs for Sunday dinner, as well as hunting, collecting coins, watching the Yankees and classic movies, and playing the slots alongside his wife. He was an avid reader, always wanting to pass along the knowledge he gained to the person seated next to him. But most of all, he loved to be surrounded by his children and grandchildren, especially during summer barbeques in the backyard. He was a provider and protector, a devoted husband, proud father, grandfather and great-grandfather. Loving, kind, strong, yet sensitive and humble, are words describing how Ross will be remembered. Ross struggled with dementia the past few years, but even as his disease progressed, he would always smile when someone walked through the door. He will be dearly missed.
