Donald V. Neglio age 91 of Wayne, NJ passed away peacefully on Thursday May 2nd at St Joseph’s Wayne Hospital with his family by his side.
Donald was born and raised in Paterson then moved to Clifton before moving to Wayne over 50 years ago. He was a Supervisor of Inventory Control for the County of Passaic for 38 years before his retirement in 1987. As a young man, Donald enlisted in the United States Navy and served his country during World War II. He was honorably discharged from the Navy in 1946. During his service to his country he received The American Theatre Ribbon, the Asiatic Pacific Ribbon 6 Stars, Philippine Liberation Ribbon 1 Star, and the Victory Medal.
Donald was a Parishioner of Immaculate Heart of Mary RC Church in Wayne. He was also a County Committeemen in Wayne. Donald was also a member of the Italian Circle and the Elk’s Lodge.
During Donald’s 30’s and 40’s he owned a few well known Taverns, The Hat Club and the B&N Tavern both located in Paterson, NJ.
There was nothing more important in Donald’s life than his family. He would have Sunday dinner at his house every week and would do the cooking. His family also recalls the many Christmas Eve dinners he would prepare as well. He was a loving Father, Grandfather and Great-Grandfather. Every chance Donald had he would spend it with his family.
He was an avid poker player and “Great Gambler”, which is to say he won quite a bit. Donald liked to watch sports, especially football. He was always surrounded by either friends or family or both. Donald was well loved by all that knew him and will be sincerely missed.
Donald is survived by his two sons David F Neglio and his wife Diane of Wayne, Donald Neglio of Idaho; his two daughters Mary Ann Grosser and her husband Al of Wayne, and Dana Barone and her husband Jim of Wayne, eleven Grandchildren Kim, Krista, Susan, Brandon, Sophia, Anthony, Nicholas, Joseph, Dominic, Donna, and Jesse; six Great-Grandchildren Decker, Christopher, Natalie, Matthew, Kayla, and Darla. Donald was pre-deceased by his loving wife Edith (1995), his sister Terry Werizinger (2003), and by his brother Salvator, formerly of Paterson.
Donations in Donald’s name may be made to St Jude’s Children’s Hospital, 501 St. Jude Place, Memphis, TN 38105.
