John Dragonetti age 85 of Wayne died on Wednesday August 13, 2008 at the Chilton Memorial Hospital, Pequannock. His passing was quiet and peaceful with his daughters by his side.
Born in Tricarico, Italy, his family came to America on a ship when he was just one year old. They settled in Paterson where he had family. He later lived in Leonia, and Lafayette before moving to Wayne four years ago.
A Navy veteran, John served during WW II on the USS Bibb. The USS Bibb was a 327 foot Coast Guard Escort and served in patrols and as a convoy escort during World War II. She took part in the invasion of Okinawa and was in service in Vietnam.
John enjoyed sports and was a very big Giants and Yankees fan. However, his favorite three sports were golf, golf, and golf. He picked up golf over 40 years ago and played passionately as often as possible.
His daughters recall some wonderful family vacations including a trip to Hawaii and an especially memorable visit back to John’s hometown in Italy.
Surviving are three daughters; Joan Dragonetti of Wayne, Carol Orlowski and her husband Tom of Moonachie, Susan Salmon and her husband Bob of Bonita Springs, FL, four grandchildren; Chris Capasso of Englewood, NJ, Sharon Picinich and her husband Martin of Hawthorne, NJ, Samantha Orlowski of Moonachie, NJ and John Orlowski of Moonachie, NJ., one great-granddaughter; Gianna Picinich of Hawthorne, NJ, and one brother; Joseph Dragonetti of Toms River, NJ.
