It is with deep sorrow that Mrs. Karen Bennett Buffolino announces the death of her beloved husband, Mr. Biagio Buffolino, 72. Mr. Buffolino entered into rest on Wednesday, November 10, 2021. Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 11 o'clock on Saturday, November 13, 2021, at St. Mary the Virgin Mother Roman Catholic Church with The Reverend Dan Papineau as Celebrant. The family will receive friends from 5:00 until 7:00 PM on Friday, November 12, 2021, at Brown-Pennington-Atkins Funeral Home. Biagio was born in Durazzano, Italy, a son of the late Antonio Buffolino and Graziella D'Angelo Buffolino. Biagio Buffolino, mostly answers to "Pops," was one of a kind. He opened his first Pizza shop in 1974 in New York and continued to work in the business until his last days. He moved his business from New York to Maryland where he met his wife, Karen. In 1990, he moved to Myrtle Beach, SC, and later moved to Hartsville, SC in 2012. There he opened New York by the Slice with his daughter, Gracie. He could most likely be found sitting in the first booth of the restaurant, known as "Pop's Booth." His presence will forever be missed. He is survived by his loving wife, Karen Bennett Buffolino; daughters, Gracie Buffolino-Hill (Kendrick), Kelli Diehl (Daniel), Janette Powell (Lee); grandchildren, Marcella Buffolino-Hill, Zana Thomas, Sky Diehl, Farrell Reed (Rachel), Eben Diehl, Kaya Diehl, Janiyah James; nieces and nephews, Nicole Young (Travis), Barbara Gilley (Brandon), Antonio Buffolino, and Erica Buffolino. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his brother, Angelo Buffolino. Brown-Pennington-Atkins Funeral Directors are caring for the family.
