Farewell to Giuseppe Deon, president of the Belluno family of Lucerne

«Last year we wanted to organize a meeting precisely in Lucerne to confer on Bepi the position of honorary president. A recognition that he deserved, for what has been done in favor of the Bellunesi nel Mondo Association “, says the director Marco Crepaz

BELLUNO. Giuseppe Deon, president of the Belluno Family of Lucerne, in Switzerland, died. “The Bellunesi nel Mondo Association is close to their children Luca, Monica and Milena – reads a note by President Oscar De Bona – Bepi was a real point of reference for our Association and the doors of his house were always open for the people of Belluno who came to visit Lucerne and also for all of us managers ».

Giuseppe, known to everyone as “Bepi”, was originally from the Municipality of Belluno, but like many people from Belluno – at a young age, immediately after the Second World War – he picks up his suitcase to emigrate to Switzerland. His destination is Lucerne at the “Viscoviss” factory, where he embarks on a satisfying career and where he meets Teresina Perenzin, also from Belluno, his future wife. Together with his wife, every year Bepi came to spend a period in Belluno, where he had a house and did not miss a visit to the ABM.

«Last year we wanted to organize a meeting in Lucerne – the thought of Abm director Marco Crepaz – to confer on Bepi the position of honorary president. A recognition that he deserved, for what he did in favor of the Bellunesi nel Mondo Association ». Yes, because Bepi has always been part of the Belluno family of Lucerne, first as a cashier and, after the death of the late Luciano Lodi, as president. «We want to remember Bepi – concludes De Bona – in 2018, on the occasion of the naming of“ Belluno platz ”, a square where the historic Viscoviss company was located, in the Emmenbrücke district. A title in honor of all those from Belluno who made this Swiss company great. Bepi was also present at the title, excited and proud to have worked for many years in that factory. Hi Bepi! I am sure that from heaven, together with your beloved Teresina, you will watch over your family. He also watches over the ABM ».
