Joseph J. Iuzzolino March 20, 1930 - September 29, 2023 Joseph J. Iuzzolino, 93, of Waretown, New Jersey, passed away peacefully at his home, surrounded by his family on Friday, September 29, 2023. Born on March 20, 1930, in Newark, New Jersey, to Joseph and Angelina Iuzzolino, Joseph was raised in the Ironbound section of Newark. He later moved to Watchung in 1970 and resided there until 2012 when he transitioned to his final home in Waretown. After high school, Joseph proudly served his country in the United States Air Force. Stationed in France, he diligently served as an ambulance driver. He earned an honorable discharge on December 31, 1957, and returned home to start the next chapter of his life. Joseph found love and married Joan Wisniewski. Together they embarked on their journey of life and family. He was employed as a truck driver for Allied Chemical in Elizabeth, where he transported various chemicals, notably engine cleaner for rockets. Alongside his wife, Joan, they opened J&J Coffee Shop in Newark. After his trucking retirement, he founded Watchung Hills Landscaping with his son John, a business that continues to thrive today under John's leadership. At age 70, proving age was but a number, Joseph transitioned into a new role as a personal trainer at the Somerset Hills YMCA in Basking Ridge. Joseph's faith was a central part of his life. He was a former member of Our Lady of Mount Carmel in Newark and a proud founding member of St. Mary's Stony Hill Church in Watchung. An avid lover of the outdoors, he relished in fishing, skiing, and hunting. He was passionate about fitness, running marathons across the world including a notable one in China. In 2006, his athletic prowess shined as he raised $6,000 for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society of North NJ Chapter during the Rock 'n' Roll Marathon in Virginia Beach, coming in first for his age bracket. His adventurous spirit extended to his travels and to his home in Watchung, where he and his family built a pool on the mountainside. As the family's designated Thanksgiving turkey carver, he'll be fondly remembered for his playful habit of sampling generously during the carving. After the passing of his beloved wife Joan in 1999, Joseph found love again with Peggy J. Dolan, who remained his steadfast companion until his passing. He is predeceased by his wife, Joan; his sister, Rose Iuzzolino; and his brother, Michael Iuzzolino. He is survived by his loving companion Peggy J. Dolan; his children Joseph Jr. (Jeanette), Mark (Fran), Diana Barling (William), and John P. (Maureen); sister, Inez Smith; eight grandchildren, Thomas, Taylor, Audrey, Nicole, Johnny, Michael, Brandon, and Rafael; as well as five great-grandchildren, Samuel, Oliver, Dasheil, Riley, and Knox.

Paul Piccione

Age - 86

September 19, 2023

Paul Piccione, 86, of Waretown, NJ passed on Saturday, September 16, 2023. He was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. He earned an engineering degree from New York City College before marrying his high school sweetheart, Virginia Cecere. Following college, he began his career in the construction field, where he quickly demonstrated his abilities as an innovator through his achievements at Meadows Cost Estimating Service NYC and Wood and Tower Cost Estimating in Princeton, NJ - later acquired by the McGraw Hill Company - where Paul held a general manager position for over 25 years. In later years, Paul founded, owned, and operated a construction cost estimating business known for being at the forefront of computerized cost estimating. Paul placed a high value on family and community, serving both, wearing a multitude of hats. To his family, he served as a doting son, brother, husband, father, and grandfather. Paul was not only present for every major milestone in the lives of his children and grandchildren, but also the activities of their day-to-day lives to include sporting events and minor achievements. His most notable service to his family was his devotion to his wife in their 65 years of marriage. To his community, he served as a champion of building a better tomorrow. Paul served as a Committeeman of Manalapan Township from 1973-1978, stepping in as Deputy Mayor for a year of his term; Manalapan Township Police Commissioner in 1974; an original member of the Western Monmouth Utility Authority (WMUA), playing an instrumental role in bringing utilities to all of Monmouth County; President of the Morning Harbor Homeowners Association from 1990-2000; and Founder of Building Evaluations, Inc. , a small business primarily serving municipalities, in 1987. While many in this world serve others as a means to seek praise or their own interests, Paul served his community because he was an altruist. His commitment to pioneering a better tomorrow for his community was fueled by his love of his family and his country. Paul was a patriot, who felt it was his responsibility to serve his community. Those who knew Paul knew you would never find him without a smile. His radiant joy touched the lives of everyone around him - from the lasting friendships he made as an avid fisherman to the waitstaff pouring his coffee at IHOP. Paul elicited laughter and generated good times wherever he went. He will be deeply missed by his family, friends, and community. Paul passed away in his home in Waretown, on his own terms, surrounded by the love and company of his family. He is survived by his wife Virginia (Cecere) Piccione, children Karen A. (Piccione) Graziosi and Anthony M. Piccione, five grandchildren Cristina Graziosi-Drake, Anthony P. Piccione, Erica Graziosi, Bianca (Piccione) Morson, and Paul M. Piccione, and his siblings Anthony Piccione and Sandra (Piccione) Ricci. He was the son of Anthony Piccione and Amelia Bevilacqua, both deceased.
