He was the husband of the late Carol (King) Consalvi and former husband of the late Jean Consalvi with whom he raised his four children on Skilton Lane in Burlington.

Perhaps his proudest moment came in 2006 when he donated to the Museum Of Fine Arts an exquisitely adorned banjo known as the Icilio Consalvi Banjo which had been created by his grandfather. Icilio transferred his amazing talent as a jewelry maker to creating elegant banjos for W. A. Cole Co. that were exhibited worldwide.
