Alirio Moreno's Obituary
Florist Note- Please have all floral arrangements delivered to the Lewes Funeral Chapel by 3 PM on Friday Sept. 27, 2019.
Alirio Moreno, age 76, of Milton, DE passed away suddenly on Saturday, September 21, 2019. He was born on February 23, 1943 in Quipile, Colombia, son of the late Ricardo and Heliodora "Amaya" Moreno.
Mr. Moreno was the owner and operator of Ali’s Landscaping in Germantown, MD for over 25 years. Always a hard worker, his entire life he was devoted to his children and accomplished the task of seeing them all attend private school and college to become successful adults. The game of basketball was always at the top of his list for enjoyment, both in watching and playing. A basketball and sneakers were always in his car. And he could often be found playing the game with anyone who wanted to participate. As an avid gardener, his enjoyment of warm weather, along with his "Green Thumb" allowed him to produce beautiful results. His usual attire of shorts and flip flops and being a jokester will forever be remembered by his family. There has never been a nicer, more loving father, grandfather partner, and person.
Mr. Moreno is survived by his wife, Consuelo Amezquita; one daughter, Sarah Moreno of Lewes, DE; two sons, Johnny Moreno (Maria Rengel) of Lutherville Timonium, MD and Edward Moreno of Germantown, MD; his former wife, Isabel Moreno of Germantown, MD; three grandchildren: Ashleigh, Marco and Mia; three brothers: Arnulfo Moreno (Maria Elisa Guerrero) of Santa Marta, Colombia, Jairo Moreno of Bogota, Colombia, and Octavio Moreno (Gloria) of Bogota, Colombia; and two sisters: Dianeth Dorris of Lewes, DE and Aura Moreno of Bogota Colombia.
