Obituary for Louis A. Attardo
Of Wayland, passed away peacefully early Friday morning December 13th, 2019 surrounded by his loving family in his home at the age of 87.
Born on June 22, 1932 in Waltham; son of the late Salvatore and Josephine (Terrasi) Attardo, Louis was raised in Waltham and has been a Wayland resident for the past 55 years.
A graduate of Saint Charles High School; Louis started his career in the banking industry at the age of 18 at the former Newton Waltham Savings Bank. He served in many different capacities for the bank. Over the years and many mergers later Louis retired as Executive Vice-President and Chief Financial Officer from Bank of America at the age of 65. After a brief retirement Louis went to work for his son-in-law at Kennedy & Company Garden Center, where he enjoyed his daily interactions with many of the customers.
Louis served proudly with the United States Army during the Korean War from 1952 to 1954.
Family was the central focus of his life; he loved family gatherings, spending time mushrooming with his brothers and most especially his nights out dancing with his wife.
