Armando Pasetti, chief emeritus officer and master salumiere at Volpi Foods, has passed away at the age of 96. Pasetti came to the U.S. from Italy at the age of 14 to work at Volpi Foods, a specialty meat producer, in St. Louis with his uncle and Volpi founder, John Volpi. As leader of Volpi Foods from 1958 to 2002, he grew the company into a household name in St. Louis and the Midwest with a reputation for quality and service.
Armando is survived by three daughters, Angela, Lorenza, and Carla; eight grandchildren: Gregory, Gary, Gabrielle, Derek, Daniela and Deanna, Giorgia and August; and 10 great-grandchildren: Patrick, Evelyn, William, Ellie, Margaret, Mason, Olivia, Logan, Daniel and Vivian; and more than 230 dedicated members of the extended Volpi Foods’ family.
“We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of my father, Armando Pasetti,” said Lorenza Pasetti. “He was a true craftsman and lived his life with passion. He welcomed customers, employees and neighbors as family to our Volpi shop. If you met Armando at the store, his warm caring spirit filled the room and will continue to do so.”
