Alfred N. ‘Fred’ DiNunzio Jr.

Alfred N. DiNunzio Jr., known as Fred, of Millsboro, Del., and formerly of Peconic, N.Y., passed away unexpectedly Friday, Oct. 6, 2023. He was 80 years old.

Fred was born in Brooklyn, N.Y., June 15, 1943, to Alfred N. and Rae Angelina (Esposito) DiNunzio.

He owned and operated the University Service Station and retired in 2012 after 48 years in business. After retirement, he was a Target team member for 10 years in Riverhead, N.Y.

Fred was a U.S. Army veteran, a Hawk Missile technician. He enjoyed cooking, eating, reading the newspaper, classic cars and watching sports — especially the Islanders hockey team and the Orioles. And above all, he was devoted to his family.

He is survived by his devoted wife of 57 years, Barbara DiNunzio, and two daughters, Nichole DiNunzio and Jacqueline DiNunzio, all of Millsboro; a brother, Edward DiNunzio (Rosemary) of Venice, Fla.; a sister, Denise DiNunzio of Bellmore, N.Y.; and his stepmother, Nancy DiNunzio, also of Bellmore. He was also blessed with a granddaughter, Clara DiNunzio, whom he adored.

A viewing and funeral service were held Oct. 11 at Watson Funeral Home & Crematorium in Millsboro. A chapel service with military honors took place at Delaware Veterans Memorial Cemetery in Millsboro.
