Clint W. Benullo, age 60, passed away on January 10, 2022. Loving husband of Deborah J. (nee Korzuch). Dear father of Elizabeth Benullo (James Cohen), Poppy of granddaughters Nora and Lillian and brother of Robert Wilson. Preceded in death by his father Joseph Benullo and mother Elizabeth (nee McCafferty).
Clint grew up "everywhere" as he would say, moving several times with his mother during his childhood to farms with horses and apple trees until they settled in Kentucky during his high school years. He had fond memories of summers on the lake and of his ambitious dream of becoming a radio DJ, which he achieved at the age of 15 for a popular radio station under the alias of Clint Walker. A child of a military father lost in war, Clint was a proud American patriot. Clint became loving husband of Deborah in 1983 and together they raised a daughter, Elizabeth. Clint had an uncanny way of connecting with people which served him well in his career as a purchasing manager for industrial companies over the years. Filled with kindness and a vast array of knowledge, Clint would give you the shirt off his back, install ceiling fans in your house, give advice on the new car you're considering and then talk stock tips. He would do anything for his family and loved his wife, daughter and granddaughters, "Poppy's Angels," dearly.
Relatives and friends are invited to his viewing and funeral on Saturday January 15th from 9 AM to 10 AM in St. Bartholomew's Church, 5600 Jackson Street, Philadelphia, PA.
