Cataldo Faticoni

Cataldo Theodore "Ted" Faticoni, 93, of New Britain, widower of Elaine Schmidt Faticoni, passed away Wednesday March 28, 2012 at his home. A lifelong New Britain resident, Ted was a World War II U.S. Army Veteran, and served in the Air Force Branch. Ted loved to golf. Early on he worked as an assistant golf pro with Stan Pisk at Stanley Golf Course in New Britain, where one year he won the City of New Britain of New Britain Golf Championship. He was very happy to introduce his son and grandchildren to the wonderful world of golf. Ted was a master carpenter and builder of several homes in New Britain, Berlin and surrounding towns through his business Faticoni Associates. He built much of his own home in New Britain from the wood he salvaged from the old St. Matthews Church he helped demolish. Ted also worked for the Connecticut Department of Corrections retiring as the Director of Plant and Maintenance at the Cheshire Correctional Institution. After he retired, he spent time going on trips with his wife Elaine and their friends and played golf. He regularly got together for coffee with a bunch of his friends from town. He was a member St. Ann's Church in New Britain; the Angelo Tomasso Son's of Italy Lodge, eventually becoming President; the Elk's Lodge of New Britain; Unico; and was a member of the Mattabassett Water Commission. But mostly, Ted loved to spend time baby sitting his three grandchildren, Kyle, Kaitlin and Connor. He and Elaine would get all excited when Barry and Sheila were dropping them off before work, and the grandchildren would be just as excited because they knew Grandma and Grandpa were going to spoil them in every way possible. Surviving is a son, Barry Faticoni and his wife Sheila of Burlington; three grandchildren, Kyle, Kaitlin and Connor Faticoni; and a brother, Adolph Faticoni and his wife Margaret of Southington. Besides his wife Elaine, he was predeceased by a brother Alfred Faticoni and his wife Netta; and a sister Felice Ingram and her husband Louis. Ted's family wishes to acknowledge and thank several people who helped him during his long illness. His home care aides, especially Mary Venturo and Kim Reel. His two trusted neighbors Bob Zita and Laura Lemere. His absolutely wonderful personal physician Dr. Carmillo Echinique and his staff. His dentist Dr. Mark DiLoreto and his staff. The wonderful staff at the Hospital for Special Care in New Britain as well as the outstanding staff at Touchpoints Rehabilitation Center in Farmington. Funeral services will be held Saturday 10:30 AM at Carlson Funeral Home, 45 Franklin Square, New Britain, followed by a Mass of Christian Burial 11:30 AM at St. Ann's Church, 101 North St., New Britain. Burial will be in Fairview Cemetery, New Britain. Calling hours are Friday evening TODAY from 5 to 8 PM at Carlson Funeral Home.
