Edmund Martino age 92 of Wayne on Wednesday, May 13, 2009. His passing was quiet and peaceful after receiving the loving care of his family.

He was born in Paterson and had lived in Hawthorne for fifty-five years before moving to Wayne two years ago.

He along with his brothers Dominic and Robert continued their father’s established General Contracting Business known as Martino Brothers General Construction located in North Haledon.

His company was responsible for many construction projects in Passaic and Bergen County. Among their many projects that they built were warehouses, restaurant buildings and one of his largest included the apartment complex buildings located on both sides of Valley Road, in Wayne. He also built homes in Hawthorne and Wayne. One special home he built was for his daughter Maria in Wayne.

He was a very hard worker and he was self motivated to success at the work that he loved, namely, building.

For hobbies he enjoyed league bowling and you would often find several times a week at T Bowl Lanes on Hamburg Turnpike as well as playing a good game of golf. You would often find him at the socializing at the Paterson Veterans of Foreign Wars Post which later moved to Hawthorne.

Ed met Lucy (nee Pisano) at a dance and they courted for one and one-half years and married in 1940 and had sixty-seven years of “excellent loving marriage” together. His family recalls that Ed and Lucy never had harsh words together and perhaps could describe their marriage as “two peas in a happy pod together”. It would seem that Lucy had the bubbly extraverted personality and Ed the quiet and reserved personality that perfectly complimented each other for many years.

Surviving are his loving wife Lucy (nee Pisano) Martino; three daughters Maria DeLalla and her husband Jules of Wayne, Aleta Corvelli and her husband Rocco of Houston, Texas, Donna Sysyn of Houston, Texas; two sisters Emily Tavecchio of Totowa and Rita Marsden and her husband Saul of Florida; two grandchildren Christian DeLalla and Nicolay Sysyn.

His brothers Dominic, Robert and Anthony predeceased him as did three sisters Aurora, Dina and Flora.

Those planning an expression of sympathy in Edmund’s memory are asked to consider The Alzheimer’s Association of New Jersey, 400 Morris Avenue, Denville, NJ.
