A graduate of Andrew Warde High School, he worked in carpentry and light construction for most of his life.

Jakab and her husband John of Milford, his nephew James and nieces, Nicole, Alyssa, Brooke and Katrina; three uncles, Vito, (Marie), Robert (Jeanette) and Russell (Elaine) Del Vento and many cousins. He was predeceased by his beloved mother Theresa A. Del Vento Polifka and Uncle, Stephen V. Del Vento (Arlene). The family is especially thankful to his Social Worker, Marcie Tratnyek, for always having his best interest. A graveside service will be held Monday, September 16, 2019, at 11:00 a.m. at St. Michael Cemetery, Stratford. (Enter the Main gate on Stratford Ave and follow Spear-Miller signs to the gravesite.)
