Dr. Louis I Misto, Jr., 91, son of the late Louis Sr. and Rose Misto, died peacefully at The Westerly Hospital on Nov. 23, 2016 surrounded by his family. He was born in Warwick, RI then lived in Danielson, CT and later moved to Westerly where he met his next-door neighbor and future wife, Estelle. He served in the Army during WWII and was in combat in the Battle of the Bulge. He graduated from Providence College and the Pennsylvania State College of Optometry. He was an Optometrist in private practice in Westerly for many years and was a founding partner in Coastal Eye Associates. In addition, he was a member of the RI Optometric Association, a life member of the Pawcatuck Lions Club and a longtime member of the Westerly Yacht Club. He was married to the love of his life, Estelle (Ferraro) Misto and they shared 60 happy years of marriage. He was the loving father to his 5 children and their spouses, Kathleen and Christian Peterson, Susan – d. 2007 and Andrew Comolli, Mary Ellen and Charles Sposato, Louis Misto III, Michael and Jennifer Misto. He also leaves behind his 11 grandchildren, Kristin Capalbo, Kelli Butler, Avery Peterson, Adam, Andrew and Marcus Comolli, Justin and Sarah Sposato, Victoria, Louis IV, and Michael Misto, Jr, and 1 great grandchild, Olivia Restelli. He is also survived by his brother and sister-in-law Joseph and Gayle Misto, many nieces, nephews and cousins. He was predeceased by his sister and brother-in-law, Rosemary “Tiny” and Angelo Sanquedolce. He enjoyed spending time on his boat, Mi-Lou, with his sons and his friends, Richard “Dick” Silva and Ernie Stenhouse. He also enjoyed clamming with his grandchildren. His garden and yard were a source of pride mentored by his good friend Angelo Gaccione. In the 60’s and 70’s he was a partner with his good friend Arthur Lupinacci in Napatree Stables where he owned several race horses. His greatest joy came from spending time with family and friends at large family gatherings. We will miss his good-natured personality, generous spirit and his quick wit.
