     WHEREAS, It is with great sadness that this Senate has learned of the passing of Deacon

father of Daniel Muscatelli, Arlene Drazek, and Crystal Day, and the very proud grandfather of

Nicholas and Vincent; and

Salvatore and Genevieve Muscatelli, and the brother of Anne Vieira and her husband, John, and

the late Marylee Abanilla. He was a graduate of Hope High School, earned his Bachelor's degree

a degree in Divinity from Providence College; and

employed as a civil engineer and licensed Professional Land Surveyor (P.L.S.), and was the

founder and owner of International Mapping and Surveying Corporation, a member of the Rhode

Island Society of Professional Land Surveyors, and, from 1982 until his passing, had been the

surveyor for the Town of Smithfield; and

     WHEREAS, In 2002, Deacon Muscatelli was ordained to the Diaconate. For eleven

years, he served his beloved parish family at Saint Joseph's Roman Catholic Church in Pascoag,

and later at Saint Philip's Roman Catholic Church in Greenville, where he remained until his

passing; and

     WHEREAS, Also devoted to community and altruistic civic endeavors, Deacon

Muscatelli was a member of the Smithfield Lions for more than thirty years, serving as President

for several years, and had volunteered with myriad charitable causes throughout the country and

the world; and

     WHEREAS, Deacon Anthony Muscatelli was a deeply spiritual, humble, dedicated, and

selfless servant of God, who devoted his life to others. He was a loving father, brother,

grandfather, uncle, cousin and loyal friend and he will be dearly missed by all who had the good

fortune to be part of his glorious life; now, therefore be it

     RESOLVED, That this Senate of the State of Rhode Island hereby expresses our deepest

sympathies on the passing of Deacon Anthony E. Muscatelli; and be it further

     RESOLVED, That the Secretary of State be and hereby is authorized and directed to

transmit a duly certified copy of this resolution to Mrs. Sonya Muscatelli and Family.
