Joseph F. Cattelona, Jr. age 58 of Egg Harbor Township and formerly of Wayne, died suddenly on Wednesday, January 22, 2014. He had been vacationing with his family in Florida.
Joe had lived in Wayne for over twenty years before retiring to Egg Harbor Township just four years ago.
Joe was raised in Paterson and very proud to have graduated from East Side High School with the class of 1973. He remained active with the East Side Reunion Committee for many years and recently attended his 40th reunion. After high school, Joe received his bachelor’s degree from Montclair State College.
Joe had been a salesman with Brogan Cadillac in Totowa for twenty eight years before retiring in 2010. He loved his job there, his associates, and especially the many customers that he befriended over the years.
After retirement, Joe moved with his wife to Egg Harbor Township to be closer to the beach. He absolutely loved the Jersey Shore and would ride his bike almost daily to the beach; up and down the boardwalk. Joe would often ride with his buddy Cosmo, a Pekingese-Beagle mix, either alongside on the leash, or sitting in the basket on his bike. Joe and Cosmo went everywhere together, including their daily walk along the nature trails near their home. Joe’s favorite activity was not any one thing in particular, but anything that involved his family. He loved them all dearly and was an especially good father and grandfather. He would do anything for them, including fishing trips, concerts, visits to the zoo, ice skating, or playing video games for hours on end with his grandson. He simply wanted to do everything he could for them, and he succeeded. They will all miss him dearly.
Joe met his wife, Geri (nee Guido) in 1980. They hit it off and were married on October 4, 1986 in Bernardsville, followed by a beautiful honeymoon in Aruba. Over the years, they were very fortunate to travel all over the U.S., including Savannah, Charleston, San Diego, and Hawaii. They also enjoyed travel to the Caribbean Islands and Joe was working on plans for a Mediterranean cruise soon. Together, they’ve enjoyed over twenty seven years of marriage, full of love, lots of fun, and many memories to last a lifetime.
Joe is survived by his beloved wife Geri, his daughters; Tammy Boselli and her husband Michael of Oak Ridge, NJ, and Kelly McClory and her boyfriend Phil of Wenonah, NJ, and three grandchildren; Daniel Nargiso, Samantha McBurrows, and Michael Nargiso, as well as many nieces, nephews, in-laws, cousins, and of course friends too numerous to mention. He was predeceased by his parents; Joseph and Florence, and by his sister Joyce Cattelona.
