Aniello Rodia

Aniello Rodia passed away peacefully in the Royal Blackburn hospital on Saturday 19th February 2022, aged 87 years.

He was born in Italy but moved to the UK in the early 60’s, he worked in Rochdale for a time before moving to Accrington and taking a post at Stoneyhurst College.

During his life he enjoyed walking and watching TV, especially wildlife programmes.  He also loved reading, in particular History and Geography and was very knowledgeable about the names of mountains. He also liked visiting his family in Italy, where he would travel by train as he didn’t like to fly.

Aniello was the dearly loved brother of Rosalina, Maria and the late Genoveffa, Francesco and Luigi.  He was also a much loved uncle.

He will be very sadly missed by all those who knew him.
