Pat Ferrie, Sr.

Dear Friends and Family,

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Patrick “Pat” J. Ferrie, Sr., age 60, of Wayne, who passed away on Thursday, November 20, 2025.

Pat was born in Kearny, New Jersey, to Pasquale and Ruth Ferrie and was raised in Lyndhurst, graduating from Lyndhurst High School with the Class of 1984. He was proud of his 1984 State Championship run for wrestling  and cherished the friends he made in Lyndhurst who remain close to this day.

In his younger years, Pat worked alongside his father, who taught him the masonry business and shared his passion for hunting. Pat was also known for his Charlie Chip Route and for the time he spent working at San Carlo Restaurant, where he made many "Forever Friends."

In 1989, Pat and his brother Jim started Country Chimney together. Pat took over the business in 1992 and owned Country Chimney Sweeps and Masons until the time of his death.

Affectionately known as "Fer," Pat cherished countless camping trips with his crew and making memories on FCT trips, which yielded countless stories. He loved the shore clubs, playing "frosh football," and the Chef’s Club. You could often find Pat around a card table, enjoying the quiet thrill of hunting, or relishing any chance to head down to "South" Atlantic City.

Pat loved being at home. His pool was his oasis, and he found joy in hosting gatherings where family and friends came together to laugh and relax.

Pat married Suzanne Luongo in 1998, and they welcomed their son, Patrick J. Ferrie, Jr., in 2000. Through this marriage, Pat also gained his step-daughter, Danielle Rullis. In more recent years, Pat was engaged to Christine Talty, with whom he shared a son, Dante.

Pat is survived by his brother James Ferrie and his wife Marybeth, and his sister Patricia Lockhart and her husband Paul; his son Patrick J. Ferrie, Jr. and many beloved nieces and nephews: Shannon, Samantha, Johnathan, Jp, Brendan, and all of their Spouses and children.

In lieu of flowers memorial donations to Eva’s Village, 393 Main Street, Paterson, NJ 07501 would be greatly appreciated.
