Michael R. Giangiobbe, age 89 of Wayne died on Wednesday, November 14, 2012.
Michael was born in Brooklyn and graduated from New Utrecht High School with the class of 1941. Shortly thereafter, Mike enlisted in the U.S. Navy. He proudly served for three years aboard the USS Nields DD 616, a destroyer. He sailed throughout the Pacific Theatre including the battle for Okinawa. He was honorably discharged in January of 1946.
In 1945, Mike was introduced to Edith Cavalleri. Their first date was a waterfront stroll along the Shore Parkway in Brooklyn. They were married on June 8, 1947 at St. Frances De Chantal RC Church in Brooklyn followed by a romantic honeymoon on Lake George. They first settled in Brooklyn and then moved to Wayne in 1961. They enjoyed sixty five years devoted to one another.
Mike was employed as a pressman, working in the newspaper printing industry throughout his career. He was with the Newark Star-Ledger and the Newark News for nearly thirty years before retiring. When he wasn’t working, he enjoyed gardening in his yard, and raising pigeons. As a kid and during the time he lived in Brooklyn, racing pigeons was a favorite pastime of his but he lost interest after moving to Wayne. He and Edith also enjoyed taking day trips into New York City or out to the Pocono’s.
Mike is survived by his loving wife Edith of Wayne, his son John and his wife Mary of Haskell, NJ, his dear sister-in-law Ines DeVito of Lakewood, NJ, and two sisters; Louise Perkins and Muriel Nistico, both of Lakewood, NJ. He was predeceased by his sister Mary Delbalso of Long Island in 1983.
