Angelo J. Matarazzo age 79 of Wayne died Wednesday April 2, 2008 at the Hospice of New Jersey, Saint Josephs Wayne Hospital, Wayne with his son Robert by his side.
Angelo was born in Ospedaletto, Italy and came to America at the age of eighteen, from war torn Italy, with his sister Esther and mother Elinor. After a ten day sea passage from April 17, 1948 through April 27, 1948, the family settled in Paterson, NJ. Angelo went to work as a truck driver for G&H Trucking, Paterson. He later realized the American Dream and opened his own trucking business, ARC Express in Paterson. His business card stated “General Freight delivered to all NJ points also Manhattan, Long Island & Brooklyn, NY. Always a worker, even in his “retirement,” he worked as a truck driver for the Bio Reference Corporation, Elmwood Park.
Angelo’s hobbies include hunting, fishing and Blue Claw crabbing off Maryland. He passed on his love of the outdoors to his son Robert who is currently a member and officer of the Allendale Rod and Gun Club, where Angelo has been a member since 1974. He also enjoyed making his own wine, deer salami and could often be found at his local hangout A&S Pork Store, Paterson.
He is the beloved fiancé for many years of Anna Abela; loving father, and best friend, of Robert Matarazzo and his wife Candy of Bloomingdale; cherished grandfather of Bobby, Gina, Amy and Josie Matarazzo and Gianna and Nicolette Piroino; loved brother of Thomasina Maglacane of Italy, Esther Fondonarosa and her husband Sam of Toms River and the late Augie Matarazzo, Carmen Matarazzo, Vincent Matarazzo, Virgililo Matarazzo and Maria Suma; much loved uncle to many nieces and nephews and loved by many friends.
