Mr. Jeffrey Sumner Litano

Mr. Jeffrey D. Sumner-Litano, 52, of Pittsfield passed away on Tuesday, June 28, 2016. Born in Pittsfield on June 12, 1964, the son of Davida Ann Sumner; his loving mother whom he was predeceased by on July 31, 2009. He attended Pittsfield Schools, Boy’s Club Dances, Roller Skating Arenas and so many other gatherings; “IT WAS JUST WHO HE WAS”. Jeff had the gift of gab and loved being surrounded by loving family, especially his sons’ Wyatt and Gabriel, and very close friends. He loved reminiscing and telling stories of yester year past, and his boisterous laughter was the most contagious and memorable part of him, a beaming smile that was so angelic and sometimes devilish, that it made your heart smile when you saw it, and instantly made you embrace him. He was a practical joker and looked for every opportunity to claim his next victim who would fall prey to his antics. He relished being the center of attention and was never shy about it, if you knew him, you should know what to expect. He enjoyed watching sports, especially football, and loved talking politics; if they belong in the same sentence? His favorite hobby of all was his love of cars, and his enthusiasm for cars was inherited from his step-father Dave Turner and his uncle Phil Shallies; who taught him the appreciation of those old relics. He loved showing them off, from his “68” GTO, “72” Duster and his “82” Malibu; that was his greatest pride of all, that he proudly custom restored with his best friend Ray, “the list is actually longer, but who knew?” Jeff worked as a truck driver for several construction companies, and most recently for John’s Tractor and Excavation Service, and was previously employed by Price Chopper and Crane and Company for several years. He is survived by his two beautiful children, Wyatt Litano and Gabriel Litano, and his two loving brothers, Darren Turner, his wife Melissa Astore-Turner, and Anthony Litano, who will greatly miss him; along with all of his nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, “special” cousins, god-son and amazing friends who all new and loved him. Funeral Notice: Funeral services for Mr. Jeffrey Litano will be Wednesday, July 6, 2016 at 6 p.m. at the Dwyer Funeral Home, 776 North St., Pittsfield MA with the Rev. A. Peter Gregory, pastor of Charles Church, officiating.
