An intensely private man, Buddy made his wishes known to his family that he did not want a funeral or memorial service. Friends and family are kindly asked to remember Buddy in their prayers. If they’d like to memorialize him, a donation to the Air Force Aid Society ( https://afas.org/ ) in his honor would be appreciated.
Angelo “Buddy” Palumbo was born March 9, 1947 in Paterson, New Jersey. The first born child of Vincent and Jean (nee Roatti), he was raised in Wayne and graduated from Wayne High School in 1965.
After his high school graduation, Buddy joined the United States Air Force, reaching the rank of Sergeant, and served our country during the Vietnam war. After his honorable discharge from the USAF, he returned to New Jersey with his first wife and his son, settling in Haledon, where he owned and operated Belmont Cleaners, a local dry cleaning service. He later added Belmont Carpet Care to the business.
In 1988, Buddy relocated to Florida with his second wife, where he worked for ADT as a security system installation supervisor. He lived in Wellington for several years before moving to Stuart 19 years ago. In his spare time, Buddy enjoyed boating, going to drag racing events, working on cars and hitting up his favorite local diners.
In 2021 as his health failed, Buddy returned to New Jersey to be closer to his son and his family. He spent his final year as a beloved resident of Arden Court in Wayne.
Buddy is predeceased by his parents, Vincent and Jean; and his first wife and the mother of his son, Nancy Palumbo (nee Roberts). He is survived by his son, Tony, his wife, Danielle (nee Deraney), and his grandson, Tony, of Oakland; his former wife, Christina Palumbo (nee Iveson Dasker) of North Carolina; his brother, Jimmy and his wife, Ginny, of Wayne; his sister, Bobbie Gerardo and her husband, Pat of Wayne and their sons, his nephews, Pat Gerardo and Vinny Gerardo.
