Captain Ferolito bravely and honorably served on the Watertown (Mass.) Fire Department from 1969 until his retirement as Fire inspector in 2001.
Tony’s greatest joy was being surrounded by his many dear friends, many of whom were his brothers and sisters from the Department, and his loving family. Every Thanksgiving, Christmas, and family dinner was complete once his daughters and grandchildren could make Tony laugh his uncontrollable laugh that brought him to joyful tears.
