George DiLallo age 95 of Wayne died Monday, March 10, 2008 at the Saint Josephs Hospital in Wayne. His passing was peaceful while he was receiving the loving care of his daughter Judy and several family members.

He was born in Schenectady, New York and had lived his early years in Paterson, NJ moving to Wayne eighteen years ago.

He received his formal education at Paterson Central High School in Paterson.

Mr. DiLallo was a Quality Control inspector for Curtis Wright Corporation in Woodridge for over forty years until his retirement in 1975.

For hobbies he particularly enjoyed vegetable gardening at his home. He was challenged by picture puzzles and enjoyed solving them. In his youth George was a talented saxophonist and he and three friends formed a band and offered their services for dances, weddings and other special occasions.

He leaves his family with many fond memories of a very loving and devoted husband, father and grandfather. He was a wonderful provider and encouraged his children in their education resulting in both his daughter and son graduating from college.

George was gifted with many talents and was a skilled Mr. Fix-It who could repair just about anything. His personality was best described as quiet, independent and loved his privacy.

George and Ruby had over fifty years of “devoted marriage” until Ruby’s passing in February of 1993.

Surviving are one son Robert DiLallo and his partner Barry Shapiro of Portland, Oregon; one daughter Judith Donovan and her husband Chuck of Wayne; one brother Chester DiLallo and his wife Caroline of Camarillo, California; three grandchildren Patrick Donovan of Wayne, Craig Donovan of Garfield and Jennifer Tauro and her husband Walter of North Reading, Massachusetts; one great granddaughter Samantha Tauro; two sisters in law Dorothy Downs and Rosemary Mantei; many nieces and nephews.

His sister Emma Pombo died earlier.

Those planning an expression of sympathy in George’s memory are asked to consider Hospice of New Jersey at Saint Joseph's Hospital, 220-224 Hamburg Turnpike, 6th Floor, Wayne, NJ 07470
