Overview
- The funeral Mass for Accursio “Gus” Sanfilippo is scheduled for 10 a.m. Tuesday at St. Ann’s Holy Family Parish in Gloucester, with Gov. Maura Healey expected to attend.
- Hundreds lined up for Monday’s wake, and a large turnout is expected at the church to honor the longtime Gloucester fisherman and community figure.
- Only Sanfilippo’s body has been recovered since the 72-foot Lily Jean sank about 25 miles off Cape Ann on Jan. 30, and the Coast Guard called off the search the next day.
- Officials identified the other six presumed dead as Paul Beal Sr., Paul Beal Jr., John Rousanidis, Freeman Short, Sean Therrien, and NOAA fisheries observer Jada Samitt; the vessel and those remains have not been found.
- A verified Lily Jean Fund at fvlilyjeanfund.org has been established to split donations equally among the seven families.
