Obituary for Ignazio La China

IN LOVING MEMORY Ignazio La China, passed in the company of his family on August 24 2021.  Born in Dahlia, Sicily in 1937, he immigrated to the US after attending university in Palermo and became a U.S. citizen in 1960.  He then traveled to Germany for his master’s studies.  After returning to the U.S., Ignatz began teaching foreign languages first in Milford CT, then in Winston-Salem NC.  Married to Barbara Avans in 1971, she preceded him in death by 7 months. He loved people, conversations, and spending time with friends at the pool.  He would go on and on talking to you and end it with “and that’s it.” to mark the change of topic.  He was a hoot, and he will be missed. He is survived by his daughter Laura La China.
