Richard J. Monzo, age 84, of Wayne, passed Saturday, November 16, 2019.
He was born to Joseph and Grace Monzo and raised in the Hillcrest Section of Paterson on Marion Street. He attended both Saint Marys High School and Paterson Technical High School with the Class of 1953.
Just out of high school Richard worked for the Kelly Nut Company and soon found a job with the Continental Can Company in Paterson and later Wayne where he served as a Union Recording Secretary for several years. After his thirty years with Continental Can Richard opened his own company the Nutley Postal Center which he ran for twenty-eight years having retired in 2016.
He will be remembered as a loving, generous, and caring man. He enjoyed golf, basketball, bowling, and his Amazon Gray parrots which he named Jeremy and LT after his favorite New York Giants players.
Richard is the devoted father of Richard and Debbie Monzo both of Wayne; he was the cherished grandfather of Alyssa Bernascone and Nicholas Monzo and great-grandfather of Alexa Bernascone; he was the dear brother of Marilyn Palukaitis of Lincoln Park and the late Vera Reinhardt; and he considered Karen Esa and Michelle Arno like daughters.
