Richard Alampi, age 70 of Wayne, died peacefully on Friday January 11, 2008. Rich was born in New York City and grew up in the Greenwich Village section. He later lived in Rutherford before moving to Wayne thirty seven-years ago.
Richard founded Advance Foils in 1984. Over the next twenty years, he operated it with his wife and daughters before selling the business in 2004.
Although he was a very hard working man, without a doubt the main passion of Richard’s life was his family; he was all about family and having fun. For his thirty-fifth wedding anniversary, he took his whole family on a cruise to the Bahamas. Every year at Christmas time their dad would take them to Macy’s in New York City to see Santa Claus. He told his girls; the Santa at Macy’s was the ‘real’ Santa, so they had to go there to see him.
He loved to video tape his family, sometimes just walking around the house with a camera, following the girls and taping them, whatever it was that they might be doing. It may have seemed silly at the time, but those tapes are treasures now.
Rich also loved to cook. He would make just about anything, often experimenting after watching a cooking show on TV. His “Grandpa Pancakes” were famous, he sometimes made sausage bread, which everyone loved, and sometimes onion bread, but without fail he always made a mess! He also loved to relax in his pajamas and watch TV.
Rich and Connie enjoyed 52 years of marriage together. They met when Rich was only 15 years old. Their mothers introduced them at a family gathering and Rich immediately started telling his friends that he was going to marry her. They courted for 6 years before marrying.
Rich is survived by his wife Connie (nee Bonanno), four daughters; Debbie Caputo and her husband Mark of Wayne, Donna Giordano of Brick, Lorraine Gunby and her husband Stephen of Wayne, and Barbara Corsale and her husband Joseph of Hewitt. Five grandchildren; Susan Finan and her husband Richard of Wayne, Lisa Reardon of Brick, Stephanie Gunby of Wayne, James Caputo and his wife JoAnn of Jersey City, and Louis Giordano of Brick.
Four great-grandchildren; Gavin Sakas of Brick, and Matthew, Justin, and Christopher Finan all of Wayne.
Rich was tragically predeceased by his daughter, Linda Alampi, in 2005.
