Notes:
1. Your Gram got married to your grandfather, Howard, an unbelievably handsome man as you well know, they actually got married from Zia Beuna's and Uncle Bill Giadone's house. The reason for this was that my Nonno, Adolfo, (your Gram's father), thought your Gram was too young to get married and wanted her to wait a bit. Being as strong willed as we know she was, she decided to marry anyway against his wishes. Since she couldn't marry from her father's house, she got married from Zia Beuna's house. Nonno (Adolfo) forbade anyone from the family to go. Uncle Rudy went anyway and got quite a beating when he got home. (L)

(The Herald, June 2, 2019)12. Obit:
Levio Julio Baldarelli, Sr. of Hermitage, passed away peacefully while surrounded by his loving family Saturday evening, June 1, 2019. He was 94.
Mr. Baldarelli was born December 20, 1924, in Fitchburg, MA, one of eight children born to Adolfo and Virginia (Contessa) Baldarelli. Prior to moving to Hermitage, he made his home in Farrell for more than 40 years. At the age of 18, he enlisted in the Army Signal Corps/Air Force. While awaiting transfer at Camp Reynolds, he met the love of his life, the former Ann DeMartinis, whom he married November 30, 1946, and would go on to spend the next 72 years by her side.
He was employed for 40 years and retired as a maintenance rigger foreman from Sharon Steel Corps’ former Farrell plant. Levio worked in the boiler shop and was responsible for the repairs of all major breakdowns in the steel mill.
While working for the company, he was named foreman of the year by the American Institute of Mining and Metallurgical Engineers’, Northeast Ohio Chapter. This award was given each year to the foreman nominated by his supervisors and elected by his peers in recognition of outstanding managerial achievements in his position. He was the first maintenance rigger foreman to receive this honor; historically, this award was only given to production foreman.
A lifelong member of Our Lady of Fatima parish, he called numbers and helped with bingo for over 30 years. He also facilitated the cross and steeple repairs at Our Lady of Fatima. Annually, he was deeply invested in the set-up and break down of the Carnavalle. He was also a member of the St. Vincent DePaul Society, Holy Name Society, and Sons of Italy.
For over 40 years, he devoted every summer vacation to visiting his loving family in Massachusetts. In 1964, while travelling home from one of their summer vacations, he took his family to the World’s Fair in New York City, New York.
Following his retirement in 1985, he devoted all his time to his family. He loved and cherished the traditional family Christmas Eve gathering, which took place each year at his home with all his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. This event was a place where you could taste his famous glazed ham while enjoying a “high ball” and ham sandwich.
Levio’s love for his wife, children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren was unparalleled. They were his dearest and most cherished treasures. All he did and lived for was centered around his faith and his family. He will be tremendously missed by all the lives he touched.
Surviving are his wife, the former Ann DeMartinis; three sons, Levio Baldarelli, Jr. and his wife Joyce, of Hermitage; Alan Baldarelli, Sr. and his wife Holly, of Conneaut Lake, PA; Mark Baldarelli, Sr. and his wife Paula, of Hermitage; three daughters, Virginia Adamo; Anna Marie Russo and her husband Carmen; and Lynn McClafferty and her husband Don, all of Hermitage; eighteen grandchildren, Kara Vournous and fiancé Brad Perry, Marc-Anthony Adamo and his wife Amy, Chérie Eulo and her husband Jimmy, Alan (AJ) Baldarelli, Jr, Jenna Peltz and her husband Greg, Carmen Russo, III and his wife Kelly, Levio Baldarelli, III and his wife BreAnne, Mark Baldarelli, Jr, Giavanna Russo-Alvarez and her husband Manuel, Francesca Baldarelli and fiancé David Cook, Lauren Baldarelli, Matthew Baldarelli and his wife Tabatha, Vincent Baldarelli, Elise Baldarelli and fiancé David Saluga, Christina Russo, Rita Baldarelli, Victoria Russo, and Analia Russo; seven great-grandchildren, Contessa, Kailee, Ava, Roman, Sophia, Catalina, and Landin; a brother, Rudolph Baldarelli; and two sisters, Norma Brasili and Virginia “Bruna” Zarrella, all of Fitchburg, Massachusetts; and all his many nieces and nephews.

Notes:
1. 2004; Interview of Levio Baldarelli by Jenna Baldarelli (2004)How would you define war?
War is horrible, it's bad - War is no good for anyone. You see pictures in history books of the Japanese bulldozing bodies into trenches - The Japanese were ruthless.Where were you when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor?
I remember I was in a movie theater and when we got out everyone was yelling and carrying on about the attacks - I had no idea what was going on.What made you decide to join the Army?
Well, both of my older brothers joined the army, and of course, I wanted to be like them, but I also wanted to serve for my country.Did you ever experience combat?
No, I never did. Both of my brothers did though.Did you keep in contact with your brothers through letters?
Yeah, they always wrote letters, but by the time I got to read them, there were words scratched out, because they didn't want any extra information to get out about the war.Did they ever talk about their war experience when they returned home?
I don't remember them ever talking about it - I think they were just happy to be home.Did you worry about being called upon to fight?
Yeah I did a lot of the time, but after a while I enjoyed what I was doing. At one point half of my unit was sent to fight in the war.Do you think that vision in your left eye played a part in not fighting overseas?
Maybe - It could have definitely been a reason why I didn't fight. I was put into the Limited Services group, but I was still trained to go fight, just in case they needed me.What were some of the jobs you did with in the States?
I started out in a studio in California making films about the war. I would take pictures that were used to make documentaries. While I was out there though, I met all different movie stars-actors/actresses.
Then I went to Camp Polk Louisiana and inspected parachutes. The parachutes were reused over and over again. If someone did not pack a parachute correctly, someone would pay the consequence - Paratroopers used them later on during the war to land and invade Europe
Then I also worked as a Military Policeman. I basically patrolled the base and acted like regular old policeman. I enforced speed limits and made sure that guys weren't AWOL - Absent with out Leave.Did you ever encounter any problems with the men in your group?
No, I never did. But there was this one time when I was at McDill Air Force Base. And we were boarding a bus to head back to base after our pass expired. After the bus was full, there were still more men loading. There was a black soldier, who I didn't know, and he was told he would have to walk to our destination. I ended up giving up his seat for the black man, and I ended up catching a ride with another vehicle. The driver of the bus was not very happy with me.When did you meet Grandma?
I was at Camp Reynolds in Pennsylvania, which was where grandma was from - And we were at the Clover Club for the night. She was with a group of her friends and I was with a group of my buddies. I saw her across the room, so I walked up to her and sat down. Her friends showed more of an interest in me than Grandma did. But later on we ended up dancing and I asked her for her number. I called her at 6:00 a.m. the next morning and asked her out on a date.What did you do when you had to leave Camp Reynolds?
Well, I was very upset but I knew that I would end up marrying her - After I left, we kept in touch with letters and phone calls.Was she in the service at that time?
No, I met her in November 1944, and then she joined in February 1945. I had to wait for her to be discharged so I could marry her.When was she discharged?
Well, I was discharged on August 18, 1945 - three days after the war was over and she did not finish until 8 months after me. I think she finished in April of 1946.(Then he gets my grandma and has her explain a few of the things that she encountered.)
Grandma, what made you decide to join the army?
Well, a friend of mine that I worked with decided that she was going to join and asked me if I would go in with her. I told her yes, because at the time, we were laid off from work and I thought it would be a good idea since I needed a job.
One of the jobs that I was assigned to do was to work in the mess hall. While I was doing this, a man came in and told me that they needed me to donate blood to an injured pilot! I have a very rare blood type (O-) and was able to help the pilot.What other sorts of jobs did you have to do?
I was first stationed at the O'Riley General Hospital as a nurse. Then later on, I did clerical work and the morning reports.How was the job of a nurse?
It was very sad. Day in and day out, I had to deal with wounded soldiers. It was not a very exciting job. I just enjoyed comforting and consoling them. It became normal to walk around the hospital and see men without arms or legs. I remember a man whose backside was shot out and he needed to have skin graphing done to repair the wound.How do you feel about war?
Well, for us it was not as devastating because we were not fighting, but war is horrible. Just about all aspects of war are bad but if it was not for the war, I would not have married your Grandma and you would not be here either.Analysis
After completing the interview with my grandfather, I came to realize that everyone has a personal war story to tell about their experience, and the only way to learn, with intricate detail, is to sit down one on one and relive the events with him/her all over again. In doing this with my grandfather, I could see that he was honored to have the opportunity to educate me on a subject that played such a major role in his life. Although he was not a soldier fighting on the forefront of war, he served his country well for the time he was in the Army.
My grandfather, Levio Baldarelli, was born on December 20, 1924, in Fitchburg Massachusetts. He had three brothers and four sisters; all four of the boys joined the armed services during WWII. The two oldest boys went overseas to fight; however, my grandpa did not. The day of the attacks on Pearl Harbor, my grandfather was in a movie theater enjoying a film. After hearing of the tragedy, he immediately enlisted in the Army; however, his disability placed a burden on his participation. As a child, he lost his sight in his left eye, but this did not stop him from serving his country. He was placed in the Limited Services group and contributed assistance on the home front. He still had to complete all of the training every person had to endure, just in case he was called upon. After completing basic training at Fort Devin's, Massachusetts, he was inducted and then shipped all over the country to carry out the duties that needed to be done for the war. One of his tasks consisted of inspecting parachutes at a camp in St. Louis, Missouri. These parachutes were used to train paratroopers who would be invading Europe. This just goes to show that every small role in the war was vital. If someone did not pack a parachute correctly, in the end someone would pay the consequence. He also served as a Military Policeman at Kessler Airfield, Mississippi. Here, he patrolled the base, enforced speed limits, and watched for AWOL (Absent with out leave) soldiers. As we have seen in war poetry, the battle for Civil Rights played a major role in previous wars. My grandfather had his own encounter that he shared with me. While at McDill Air Force Base, troops were boarding a bus to head back to base after a pass expired. After the bus was full, there were still more men loading. A black soldier, whom my grandfather did not know, was told he would have to walk to their destination. My generous grandfather gave up his seat for that man, and he ended up catching a ride with another vehicle. The driver of the bus was not very happy with my Grandpa. This event reminded me of the poem "Defeat" by Witter Bynner, in that both demonstrate the discrimination among black soldiers. It is quite sad to see that out of a group of men, one single black man could be singled out, and asked to get off the bus; but at the same time, I was pleased to know that my Grandpa did not engage in discriminatory acts.As we have seen in war poetry, the battle for Civil Rights played a major role in previous wars.

It is quite sad to see that out of a group of men, one single black man could be singled out, and asked to get off the bus; but at the same time, I was pleased to know that my Grandpa did not engage in discriminatory acts.Another trend that has followed throughout poetry, short stories, and novels we have read are the love stories. My grandfather was stationed at Camp Reynolds, in Reynolds, Pennsylvania; little did he know that the love of his life would be found just around the corner of that base site. Ann Demartinas, his future wife and my future grandmother lived in Reynolds, Pennsylvania, near Idaho Street, a quite popular place filled with restaurants and clubs. One night my Grandpa and a few of his friends stopped in at a restaurant. After they sat down, my Grandpa immediately showed interest in a young woman across the room, my Grandma. He walked up to her table and began talking to her and her friends. In the beginning of the conversation, my grandma blew him off, but her friends "hit on him". Later on in the night, they danced together, and she gave him her phone number. The next morning my grandpa immediately called the number and asked her out on a date. They continued to see each other until it was time for my Grandpa to transfer bases, but he knew that he would marry her after he was released from the Army. My grandpa quotes, "She became my motivation to do my best in the Army." They kept in touch through phone calls and letters. After the war ended, he was discharged on August 18, 1945. However, things did not go according to plan. My grandma had joined the service in February of 1945; now, leaving my Grandpa waiting for her to be discharged. The two were constantly on each other's minds, and they longed for the day when they reunited with one another. This love story reminded me of the character Jimmy Cross in Tim O'Brien's story, "The Things They Carried". Although my Grandpa was not overseas, he was still a great distance from her. This gap made my Grandpa's love for my Grandma extremely strong. At times, it seemed he was more focused on her rather than his own life with the Army.
I think a major reason my Grandfather wanted to pursue a relationship with my Grandma had to do with the fact that she was a very youthful, innocent women. In war literature, the soldier is always searching for that innocent woman to latch onto. I believe my Grandpa saw purity in her that he could not find in the military. She was his outlet from the men in the army. Even though my grandfather did not fight in the war overseas, being a part of the military at a time of war took away from his innocence.I think a major reason my Grandfather wanted to pursue a relationship with my Grandma had to do with the fact that she was a very youthful, innocent women.

She was his outlet from the men in the army. Even though my grandfather did not fight in the war overseas, being a part of the military at a time of war took away from his innocence.
Another similarity is between the role of my Grandma in the Army and the monks in the story by Tim O'Brien, "Church". My Grandma played an important role as a nurse in helping the soldiers get back on their feet. While working there, she came face to face with wounded soldiers, as to be expected in a hospital. She quotes, "one guys back side was shot and they had to use skin graphing to replace the damaged wound." As a nurse, she was extremely helpful and supportive to the soldiers, just as the monks were. She respected them and provided an ear to listen to their problems. I thought this related to the monks because they assisted Jimmy Cross, Kiowa and others while at the church. Both the monks and my Grandma played a compassionate role to the soldiers.After completing the interview with my Grandparents, I realized how difficult reminiscing about the war is especially once you are older. Both of my Grandparents are quite elderly, and their memory is not how it once was. The stories they told jumped from one event to the next, without completing an entire story. I had a difficult time piecing the sequence of events together and had to ask my Dad to fill in some of the missing links.
In conclusion, being a part of a war does not only mean fighting face to face with an enemy. One can experience the hardships without being on the battleground. My grandparents are living proof of that. It often seems as if nothing good comes from war, however, I found a few things that could constitute as "good". For one, my grandfather would never have been able to travel all over the country and see so many cities and celebrities. This is one aspect that he emphasized throughout the interview that he was very grateful to have experienced. But even more, he may never have fallen in love with such a beautiful woman, and had the opportunity to have a family. If this were the case, I would not be here either.

Brasili says goodbye after five decades with P. J. Keating Company
LUNENBURG _ Longevity in a job is particularly poignant these days as more and more people are finding themselves without employment. However, that has not been an issue for P.J. Keating Company employee Mario Brasili, who has worked for the company for over 50 years, beginning there on June 30, 1959. Brasili has seen the company through many changes all with a knowledge and wisdom that has made him one of the true assets of P. J. Keating Company, and an inspiration to those who work for the company. “I was hired by Bob Keating who had enough work for me for three to five days. I took a gamble and took the job and was there for 50 years,” Brasili said, who retired from the company at the end of 2009. Starting out as a laborer at P. J. Keating Company, Brasili worked his way up to foreman, then paving supervisor, ultimately ending his career as vice president. “Mario Brasili has been an iconic symbol of the P. J. Keating Company since I can remember,” said John Keating, president and COO of Oldcastle Materials East. “He took me under his wing in my early years and taught me much of what I know today regarding paving practices, construction bidding and customer sales. Most notably, Mario played an integral role in the transition from a family business to a public company when P. J. Keating Company joined Oldcastle in 1994.” James “Jim” Reger, president of P. J. Keating Company, said it was Brasili who mentored him when he was a new employee back in 1985. “I fondly remember Mario taking me on my first visit to MassHighway. You would have thought I arrived with the Pope,” Reger said. “Everyone in the building was coming up and saying hello to him. He made sure I met all the key people that day. I look back and realize that what he taught me has allowed me to be where I am today.” According to Eric Lundberg, vice president of P. J. Keating Company, Brasili opened doors for many of his colleagues both 50 years ago up until present day. “Mario’s lessons on how to be successful in this business are just as relevant today during these difficult economic times as they have ever been. Fairness, hard work and doing the job right almost always lead to long term beneficial relationships for all,” Lundberg said. “Many of the relationships established by Mario with our customers over his 50-year tenure still endure and continue to provide great business opportunities for us today.” Just what makes someone stay with the same job for 50 years? According to Brasili, he attributes his longevity to hard work and working for a good company. “It’s been an excellent company to work for, very fair,” he said. “There’s a great bunch of people there.” Brasili said the biggest change for him in those 50 years was when the company went public. “Going from a family business to a big company was huge. John (Keating) asked me to stay and help out and even though I was thinking about retirement, I said that I would. That was more than nine years ago,” he said with a chuckle. Last month Brasili was honored by his colleagues with a retirement party during which those who have been touched by Brasili could say thanks. “It was excellent. These are a wonderful group of people,” he added. Today what lies ahead for Brasili is a much earned rest and relaxation in Florida. “It’s been great 50 years,” he said. (2010)7. Obit: Mario M.

4. Pet Vegetable, Sicilian Squash, 40 Inches Long
Joseph Addante, Jr., 15-year-old St. Bernard's high school student has just succeeded in producing a monster squash that measures 40 inches and that tips the scales at 18 pounds. His garden pride is a Sicilian squash; raised from seeds given to him by Constantino Ramondelli of 295 Water street, who obtained them while on a visit to Italy two years ago. Italian-Americans who have seen the giant vegetable tell Joseph that even in Italy no squash ever reaches this size. Joseph had to raise the squash after his sister told her biology class that she had seen a squash four feet long. The lad remembered his seeds and decided to see what-could be done and the result was several squashes of extraordinary size. It wasn't easy to grow the masterpieces to 40 inches Joseph says. There, was the problem of frost too. One night the youth combated the latter problem by placing his coat around his pet vegetable. But the reward was worth the effort and now Joseph is proudly exhibiting his squash all over the city. (Fitchburg Sentinel, Oct. 15, 1941)5. St. Joseph Hospital, doctors named in suit
A Fitchburg, Mass., podiatrist who lost his proveleges to practice at St. Joseph Hospital has filed a $2.5 million suit charging hospital officials and sevearl prominent local doctors with conspiring to interfere with his career. The suit, which also accused the hospital and doctors of class prejudice against podiatrists, was filed in U.S District Court, Concord, by foot specialist Joseph Addante D.P.M. ... (story; Nashua Telegraph, Oct. 6, 1982) 6. Addante Receives Gold Medal From Italian Podologists Joseph B. Addante, DPM of Fitchburg, practicing podiatrist since 1954 was presented with a Gold Medal from the Association of Italian Podologists. He was one of ten so honored at the thirty year celebration of the association held with ceremonies at the Chamber of Deputies in Rome. Several Dignitaries were present, including the past head of European Red cross, President of the Italian Medical Society, Assistant Dean of the Medical School, Representative of the Mayor of Rome, head of the Pharmacy Assn, and several members of the House of Deputies.
Dr. Addante has served as a volunteer visiting professor since 1997 and was recognized for his contributions in developing syllabus and upgrading curricula. He assisted in elevating the diploma course to a degree level and is now serving on committees to create a masters program in the management of diabetic foot complications. Dr. Addante has also served on the Fitchburg Board of Health and will retire as he completes forty years of city service this year. (03/24/2004)7. A world traveler - by foot
Addante's career has taken him around the globe
It would seem that a person who has spent his professional career as a foot doctor would not be looked upon as one who has had an exciting, event-filled life. After all, a man who dwells upon such topics as toenail fungus and plantar fasciitis wouldn't likely be invited to too many cocktail parties. But Dr. Joseph B. Addante, podiatrist, is also a teacher, a world traveler, and confidante of international medical colleagues. He even had a private audience with the pope. Unfortunately, there were dark days, too. Addante, formerly on the staff of Health Alliance Hospital in Leominster and still an honorary staff member, is now semi-retired and approaching his 80th birthday in August.
He grew up in Fitchburg in a bilingual Italian family. His father and two uncles were all cobblers, so Joseph Addante started his career on the leather side of the foot trade. His teenage ambition was to make the best pair of shoes possible. His skills were shown to be applicable to other mechanical tasks.
As a young man he was a physics major at Holy Cross College before he joined the United States Air Force in 1944. He was assigned as an airplane mechanic and sent to Peking (now Beijing) in China.
This was a time of struggle between the Communists, led by Mao Tse-tung, and the Nationalists, under Chiang Kaishek, a struggle ending in the triumph of Mao and the retreat of the Nationalists to the island of Taiwan in the Formosa Straits.
"I was greeted warmly by members of the Italian air force for my ability to translate their wants into English," Addante recalled.
Because of his dexterity with a sewing needle, he eventually was recruited by military doctors to help stitch up patients. From this experience, he began thinking about making a career in the medical profession. Following his discharge, he attended school at Temple in Philadelphia and opened a podiatry office in Fitchburg. For the next 43 years he practiced podiatry locally and in 14 states, two Canadian provinces, New Zealand, Spain, England and Italy. He also became director of podiatric residency at the West Roxbury Veterans Administration Medical Center. Addante became a leader in his profession and made numerous international contacts at podiatric conferences here and abroad.
Having married and fathered two sons and a daughter with his wife, Alice, things seemed to be on an upward spiral of good fortune. His daughter has followed in her dad's profession. Dr. Annelisa Addante maintains a practice in Fitchburg.
His son, Jay, became a successful graphic designer in New York City. Shortly after Addante retired from full practice in 1997, Jay tripped and hit his head on the sidewalk, hemorrhaging and dying. He was only 38. Ten weeks later, Addante's other son, Bart, had a heart attack and died at age 42.
The Addantes, naturally, were devastated. Word of these tragic events spread quickly across the Atlantic where Addante had lectured extensively at a podiatry school in London. He had also offered surgical seminars there and elsewhere in Europe. A friend in Rome, knowing the situation, suggested that Addante and his wife come to Italy to help get their minds off their troubles. His friend said that in addition to spending time with him, Addante could teach students at the school that he headed in Rome.
'Thus began a professorship at the University of Sapienza Instituto Podologico Italiano. Continuing to the present, Addante has been teaching there a month at a time three times a year. A highlight of the doctor's career occurred when the wife of one of his colleagues, a physician to the pope, needed an operation requiring Addante's specialization.
"I told him his wife would recover more quickly if he could arrange an audience for me with the Pope."
And so it came to pass that this cobbler's son, on St. Joseph's Day, March 19, 2003, was granted the privilege of meeting face-to-face with the Holy Father, Pope John Paul II in the Vatican.
When not in Italy or otherwise preoccupied overseas, Addante maintains local contacts and enjoys his two grandsons.
He is also on the committee of the Center for Italian Culture at Fitchburg State College, which is embarked on an oral history of Italians in the Fitchburg and Leominster area.
Addante also teaches a course he calls Traveler's Italian at La Tazza Restaurant, 69 Main St., Leominster.
This came about when he and his wife responded to an advertisement by La Tazza promoting authentic Italian desserts. He met owner Stephanie DeAmicis who talked him into teaching a course for some of her patrons. At one such informal class session, two couples planning a trip to Italy this month assembled in the restaurant and began chatting about their forthcoming departure on a 14-day tour organized by the Globus Company. Roger and Charleen Boisvert of Fitchburg and their friends, a couple from New Salem, ordered a round of cappuccino delivered to their table by Ms Amicis.
When Addante arrived, there ensued an exchange of Italian greetings learned by the students in the past three weeks:Bona Sera, Prego, etc.
Addante pulled off his coat and drew up a seat. The group discussed what they have learned at previous sessions, such as how to ask for directions, what to say to find a bathroom, what the Euro will buy, etc. (Addante dispenses with any attempt at Italian grammar). The teacher is in the mood to discuss food. "Don't bother to order steak in Italy," he says. "We do steak much better in this country." He suggests ordering pork, lamb or veal instead.
Ms DeAmicis eavesdropped while simultaneously attending behind the counter to preparations for the next day's business. She has other customers who she hopefully will join in touring Italy next fall.
Following the class, "student" Charleen Boisvert comments that the classes have been very helpful in refining their pronunciation of basic Italian words and phrases and learning what to expect in their travels. (By ED HORGAN, The Leominster Champion, 28 Apr. 2006)8. Fitchburg surgeon honored
FITCHBURG -- Lifelong Fitchburg resident and international podiatric surgeon Joseph Addante was honored by an Italian medical university recently for his lifetime of work and innovation in foot medicine.
Around 1997, the time he retired from his private practice of 43 years, Addante, had been traveling to Italy three times a year as a visiting professor at Sapienza University of Rome. As recognition for his work there, he was presented with the "Recognition and Appreciation Pergomena. A pergomena is a kind of parchment made from sheepskin.
Addante, 85, pioneered a procedure for people who have a sunken metatarsal bone, the part of the foot that connects to the toes and touches the ground. He said this causes stress on that bone and leads to pain, so he literally cracked the bone on the patient and it flattening the step.
"It's like balancing the wheels on a car," said Addante.
Addante lives with his wife Alice on John Fitch Highway. He grew up speaking fluent Italian and his father made shoes for crippled feet, which started his interest in foot problems. Holding out his right hand rock-steady, Addante said he won't give up surgery until his hands start to tremble. The last operation he performed was six months ago in Italy.
Addante is licensed to practice medicine in America, Canada, Italy, England, Spain and New Zealand. He is a distinguished visiting professor at the New York College of Podiatric Medicine and a visiting lecturer at the London Foot Hospital and School of Podiatry.
He has taught at Harvard Medical School and the University of Massachusetts Medical School, where students dubbed him "The Podfather."
In November and December, Addante is teaching a five-session class on the culture of Italy through Fitchburg State University's adult education program. He is writing a book promoting amputation as a life-saving procedure. (Fitchburg Sentinel, 28 Aug. 2011)9. Dr. Joseph B. Addante Sr. (1926 - Present)
A world traveler and leader in his profession, Dr. Addante grew up in a bilingual household in Fitchburg. In 1944, he served in China as an airplane mechanic for the Air force, little realizing that his experience stitching leather in his father's cobbler shop would eventually lead to a medical career. He stitched parachutes and later, was recruited to assist with stitching wounds. After discharge, Dr. Addante attended Temple University, specialized in podiatry, and opened an office in 1954. Soon after his retirement in 1997, he and his wife, Alice, mourned the tragic loss of their two sons - Jay and Bart - and he accepted an invitation to lecture at the University of Sapienza in Rome, beginning an 18 year association with this university. He is most proud of having met two popes - John Paul II and Benedict. (photo)(Legendary Locals of Fitchburg, Fitchburg Historical Society, p. 61, 2014)10. Doctor honored to repay his gift with a service
(photo)
Both doctors had to “earn” their gifts. And that involved Pope John Paul II – up close. Dr. Joseph Addante, of St. Anthony Parish in Fitchburg, tells it like this. With an uncle who was a Franciscan, “I always had a leaning toward the Church,” he said. “I used to shine all the priests’ shoes.” He continued his “footwork” as an adult – as a podiatrist. “In 1997 I lost two sons – within 10 weeks,” Dr. Addante said. His 38-year-old fell and hemorrhaged; his 42-year-old had a heart attack. A friend who headed the school of podiatry at Sapienza University in Rome tried to console him by inviting him to teach there, he said. Having grown up in an Italian family in Fitchburg, Dr. Addante had been the interpreter when his friend came here for podiatry meetings. He accepted the invitation, spending a month in Italy three times a year. Sometimes his wife, Alice, joined him. One day, after operating on a woman, Dr. Addante blessed her. “You gave her the bishop’s blessing,” remarked her husband. He should know; he was a doctor at the Vatican. “If I don’t see the pope, she’s not going to get better,” Dr. Addante said of how he jokingly “threatened” his patient upon learning of her husband’s position. “He sent his driver, got me into the Vatican on St. Joseph’s Day at the audience” – March 19, 2003 – the podiatrist said. “I was right up with the cardinals, right at the major platform where the pope sits. … It was a thrilling day.” Afterwards, he got to meet Pope John Paul II. What did they say to each other? “Not much, just a blessing and ‘You’re named after a great saint,’” Dr. Addante said. “A few weeks later this doctor came with his sister-in-law,” to have him operate on her, he said. “He called me later: ‘You have to earn what I gave you; His Holiness wants his nails cut,’” Dr. Addante said. He said the doctor’s driver picked him up and took him – somewhere. There were enough corridors and stairs that by the time he got there, he wasn’t sure exactly where he was. Security wanted it that way, he figured. He didn’t know until he arrived that it was the pope whose nails he was to cut, he said. “How do you think a man feels when he faces the pope?” he asked. He said John Paul II said something like, “I know you’re a good surgeon, and I hope this is not below you.” It was a very quiet event, Dr. Addante said; “I did what I had to do and I got out.” What does he think about Pope John Paul II being canonized with Pope John XXIII? “I think these guys are very deserving of canonization,” he said. “They’re both popes of the people. We haven’t had that in a long time. We’re back to that.” (www.catholicfreepress.org, 2014)11. Obit: Dr. Joseph B. Addante, 90
Fitchburg: Dr. Joseph Bartholomew Addante, 90, died peacefully in the company of his family at HealthAlliance Leominster Hospital on March 6.
He was born in Fitchburg on August 25, 1926, son of Giuseppe and Annantonia (Berardi) Addante. He was the proud son of Italian immigrants, forever a home town boy and an ambassador for his profession.
A true-blue Bernardian, he credited the Sisters of the Presentation with instilling in him the discipline and development of fundamental skills required for academic pursuits. This and his enduring curiosity enriched his long life. The following merely highlight some of the many things he did in his 90 years.
He served the US Army Air Corps Army of Occupation in Peiping, China in 1945. Grateful for the G.I.Bill and forever extolling its value for having provided the opportunity for education for a whole generation, he resumed his education at Fitchburg State and Temple University where he graduated from Chiropody School in 1953. He returned to Fitchburg to practice and delighted in knowing networks of families and caring for patients across several generations. He was instrumental in the evolution of the profession of podiatry both politically and educationally. He was president of the Massachusetts Podiatric Medical Society, a member of the board of trustees of the American Podiatry Association, a member of the Council on Podiatry Education (the accrediting body for podiatry colleges) and a member of the board of trustees of the New York College of Podiatric Medicine. He encouraged, trained, challenged and inspired many students, externs, and residents.
Joe was a lifelong member of the parish of St. Anthony of Padua and was engaged in many social and cultural institutions and events. Always ready for a party he was a member of the Fay Club for fifty years. He enjoyed many exhibitions and supported the Fitchburg Art Museum by membership. He joined the Exchange Club then Rotary Club, serving the community, recruiting members, and having fun! He served on the Fitchburg Board of Health for many terms. In recent years, he served on the board for the Center for Italian Culture where he was the unofficial local historian. Most recently he volunteered at the Fitchburg Historical Society sharing local historical facts and colorful stories.
He enjoyed a wide range of interests, was a self-proclaimed news junkie, and held an opinion on virtually everything and was willing to share it. His life was fascinating and pleasurable with the company of an extraordinary group of people and cherished friendships. He missed many he loved but he often recounted the relationships, experiences and adventures of the past with gratitude.
He is survived by his daughter, Dr. Annelisa Addante and her husband Rick Brown of Bolton, his grandson and namesake, Joseph B. Addante, III and his wife Lauren of Quincy, his grandson, Ensign Maxwell Brown of Honolulu, HI, his loving sister, Rosaria Taft of Fairfield, CT and his former daughters-in-law, Sylvia Banville of Westminster and Anita Genco of NYC.

FITCHBURG -- Police on Friday identified the victim of a fatal one-car accident Thursday as James F. Baldarelli, a 78-year-old city resident.
Capt. Philip J. Kearns Jr. said the early investigation indicates erratic driving did not cause the accident, which occurred at about 3:15 p.m. Thursday along Electric Road. He said Baldarelli drove his car off the road while traveling in "the normal flow of traffic" and struck a tree.
"From the witnesses, there didn't appear to be any indication of speed. What we'd like to know is what caused the gentleman to go off the road. It could have been any number of factors," Kearns said in an interview.
Baldarelli was pronounced dead Thursday at HealthAlliance Hospital's Leominster campus. He was the only person in the car.
Kearns added he has assigned a detective to follow the case and is awaiting a report on the official cause of death.
A longtime city resident and graduate of St. Bernard's High School, Baldarelli was the owner of the former Isabelle Hardware Store of Fitchburg and the general manager of the Maki Building Center of Lunenburg, according to his obituary. He also served in the U.S. Army during the Korean War.
