Joseph Girolamo has been called quite a few different things over the years. He's a father, a brother, a great-great-grandfather, a union man, a soldier during World War II and so much more. Now he's adding centenarian to that list. Girolamo will celebrate his 100th year on this earth March 9. His family rented out DeLuca's Restaurant in Westland so he can celebrate with those who love him most.
Girolamo was also honored by his friends at American Legion Post 32 in Livonia March 3 for his years of volunteering. The oldest and last surviving of seven children, Girolamo was born in New York City in 1921 and grew up in the Detroit area. He sold newspapers on street corners growing up and cultivated a love of music. He's played in bands and won awards for his skill playing violin, trumpet and bass. He can still play his harmonica, too.
