08/11/2022 12:00 PMAlex A. Papa, 70, of North Haven, passed away peacefully in his sleep on Aug. 1 at his home. Born in New Haven on Dec. 20, 1951, he was the son of the late Nicolas J. and Evelyn R. Ambrosini Papa.
At age 17, Alex attended Catholic University in Washington D.C. and earned a degree as a political science major. He worked for the City of New Haven Ceta Program, was a stockbroker for Smith & Barney, and owner/partner for Nick’s Char-pit in North Haven. Alex was an avid traveler, traveling to Egypt, St. Croix, Puerto Rico, Florida, and Upstate New York; and he took many cruises. He especially enjoyed his time in his condo in Florida and family homes in Puerto Rico and Upstate New York.
Alex was a steadfast rock in a chaotic world for many of us. He will be missed very much by all who were fortunate to have known him in their lives. He was brother of Phyllis (Harry) Granata, Robert (Grace Petrillo) Papa, Annette (Ralph) Bonanno and Dennis (Kathryn Russell) Papa; uncle of Nicole and Joe Galati, Bobby and Samantha Papa, Brittney and Mathew Schloemann, Christina and Jennifer, and Nicholas J. Papa; great-uncle of Emma and Anthony Galati, Isabella and Gianna Papa, and Fallyn Schloemann.
