Andrew Falcone age 87 of Wayne born Adriano Falcone of parents both born in Cosenza, Calabria, Italy, died peacefully on Monday, April 4, 2011 with the comfort of family by his side.

He was born, raised, and lived in Jersey City before retiring in 1993 and moving to the Sisco Village in Wayne.

Andy attended Lincoln High School, Jersey City.  He got a job as a color technician and film developer for the Vogue Wright  Studios, New York City, where he worked his entire career.  He also worked on weeknights, weekends and holidays as a photographer for the Edward Martin Studios, Jersey City doing weddings, class pictures, christenings, baptisms and all kinds of events where a photographer was needed.

He was known for his easy smile and quiet, friendly way.  He enjoyed the senior bowling league at T-Bowl Lanes in Wayne and was a member of the Golden Age Circle of Wayne. He also became a fixture at his son, Daniel's, accounting office helping when ever needed.

Andy met his wife Jennie (Corrente) when he was set up on a blind date by his sister.  Jennie was a seamstress/pattern maker for the Jonathan Logan company in Jersey City and worked with Andy’s older sister.  Their first date was to a Yankee game and they soon fell in love.  After their engagement party, held on Thanksgiving day, 1948., they married on June 19, 1949 at Our Lady of Mount Carmel RC Church, Jersey City.  They had their wedding reception at Ilvento’s Restaurant, Jersey City and honeymooned at the Fontainebleu Hotel in Miami Beach.  He enjoyed being on the beach so much in Miami that it became an annual two week trip for the family each summer where Andy would enjoy laying on the beach for hours.

Andy was the loving husband of thirty-four years to Jennie before her passing in 1983.  He was the loving father of Daniel Falcone and his wife Peggyann of Wayne, John Falcone and his wife Pauline of White House Station, and Mary Falcone of East Brunswick; cherished grandfather of Danielle and Bridget Falcone, Johnathan Falcone, and Jennie and Joseph Calderone; loved brother of Rose Romano of Bayonne, Nancy Arcuri and Josephine Calamari both of Jersey City.

In lieu of flowers memorial donations to Alzheimer’s Foundation of America, 322 Eighth Avenue, 7th Floor, New York, NY  10001 would be appreciated.
