He was born in Ridgewood to the late James and Carol Pugliese. He was raised in Wayne and graduated from Wayne Valley High School with the Class of 1998 and continued his education at Berkley College where he earned an Associates Degree in Business.
Jim always had an entrepreneurial spirit. He owned businesses in the telecom industry and then founded Pugliese Wholesale Kitchen & Bath in Totowa which he operated for the past ten years.
He will be lovingly remembered for his kind heart, lively spirit, and funny way. He was always the life of the party. When it came to the kitchen he loved to cook.

His daughter Juliana learned a love of cooking while by her father’s side and his son J.T. learned a love of eating whatever dad made.
