Michael Louis Fatone

Michael L. Fatone, a resident of Indian Land, SC passed away from natural causes on Tuesday May 14th at the age of 89. Born in Bronx, NY to the late Louis Fatone and the late Michelina DeCarolis Fatone, who both immigrated to the U.S. from Italy, he was a 1st generation Italian American. Michael was the oldest of 4 children, and a proud United States Air Force Veteran, who served in the Korean War. He was a handsome, tall, well built, hardworking man, and he soon caught the eye of his now late wife Hilda. Together they both raised 4 children in the suburbs of N.J. Mike worked most of his life for the city school system of NYC, and through his hard work he was able to move his family out of the city and to the quiet county life of N.J. Mike was an avid gun collector and gunsmith throughout his life. Mike is survived by his 4 children, daughter’s Janet (Rosario) Stalb, Marisa Rosario-Hoyt (son in-law Kevin Hoyt), and Sandra Fatone (son in-law Giacomo Ingenio), and son Michael Fatone, Jr (daughter in-law Rose (Sabatino) Fatone, his brother Alfred Fatone and sister Aggie (Fatone) Goebel, his 7 grandchildren Nichole, Louis, Derek,
Renee, Michael III, Nicholas and Jordan, as well as his 7 great grandchildren. He is predeceased by his brother Louis (Junie) Fatone, his wife Hilda (Hernandez) Fatone and son in-law Jeffery Stalb. Mike was greatly loved by his family and friends, most of whose friendship has continued since childhood and his early adult life, and he will be greatly
missed by all.
There will be no services held in S.C. as there will be a private memorial held later at the convenience of the family. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions can be made to The United War Veterans Council.
