John P. Menzo age 88 of Wayne died on Friday, October 30, 2009 at the Preakness Healthcare Center in Wayne. His passing was quiet and peaceful. His family had spent much time at his bedside providing the love and care only a family could give.
He was born in New York City and had lived there and Lynhurst and Hackensack before moving to Wayne 26 years ago.
In the late 1930’s he served in the New Jersey National Guard. He had tried to join the army but he had a hearing problem that caused him to not be able to serve.
He was a parishioner of the Immaculate Heart of Mary RC Church in Wayne, was a member of the Wayne Golden Age Circle as well as the Wayne Elks Lodge 2181.
John had lost his first wife Dorothy in 1982 and several years later he met Frances Scaturro (nee Bocina) at a travel club. They dated for several years and John finally caught Frances and they married. They had twenty five years of a “happy and fun” marriage together.
Both John and Frances loved to dance and whenever the occasion allowed for it you would find them together on the dance floor dancing the night away.
He and Frances loved to travel and they together visited twenty-five countries including all of the United States including Alaska and also Brazil.
Surviving are his loving wife Frances; four daughters Cindy Aldighere and her husband Mark of New Milford, twins Barbara Bray and her husband Kevin of Hackensack and Roberta Palino and her husband Ross of Saddlebrook and Melanie Pedalino and her husband Raymond of River Edge; two sons Peter Menzo and his wife Ellen of Prosperity, SC and Roy Menzo and his wife Tina of Hoopeston, IL; two step sons Benjamin Scaturro and his wife Deborah of Bloomingdale, Stephen Scaturro and his wife Nancy of Greenwood Lake; one step daughter Virginia Zalusky and her husband Chester of Wayne; one sister Julia Panaro of Elmwood Park; grandchildren Samuel, David, Benjamin, Andrew, Regina, Michael, Michelle, Gina, Darren, Thomas, Daniel, Samantha, Nicholas, John, Joanna, Michael; great grandchildren Emma, Vincent, Analise, Aaron, Eva, Abigail, Jason, Harrison.
