Valentine Esposito was born to the late Louis and Mary Esposito in Brooklyn, New York on March 30, 1932. He was a veteran who served honorably for four years in the US Navy during the Korean War. While serving his country he was awarded the Navy Occupational Service and National Defense Service medals of honor. After the war, he married MaryAnn Bellemare and helped raise his three children with patience, discipline, love and humility. Valentine was a kind and caring father and husband who always had time to answer a question or solve a problem, no matter how small. He was a man who had a good sense of humor and was friendly to all who met and knew him. He was loved by all and will be greatly missed in this world. He has now found peace in heaven with his beloved wife. Valentine is survived by his three children Mary, Tony and Theresa; his five grandchildren Karen, Paul, Lisa, Chris and Julie; and his two great-grandchildren, Trinity and Gianni.
