It is with great sadness that the family of Agostino (Gus) Lombardo announces his passing whilst on holiday with his children Louisa and Alexander, and grandson Freddie in Sardinia on 7th September 2023.
Born in Bedford, Gus attended Westfield School until the age of 15, when he left to join the family business in High Street North, Dunstable. 'Lombardo's Continental Foodstore' was open from 6am-11pm, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. By the late 70s, the family had purchased a nursery in Wheathampstead, growing fruit and vegetables for the shop. Shortly after the family acquired the Posthorn Restaurant in Albion Street, Dunstable and Gus had an ice cream round with the Tonibell company. In the 90s the family started the Millefiori Restaurant in Church Street and from 2007-2014 ran the Adesso Restaurant. In 1998 Lombardo's Delicatessen moved to West Street, where the business remains today.
The family have been overwhelmed by the love and affection shown for Gus by the community in Dunstable, which is testament to the sacrifices he made to provide for his customers and friends. Gus was adored by his family and will be greatly missed.
