Salvatore Giannetti age 74 of Wayne died suddenly on Friday, July 24, 2009 at home.
He was born in the family home on Dixon Avenue in Paterson and raised on McBride Avenue in West Paterson having attended Schools No. 1, No. 4 and Passaic Valley High School with the Class of 1951. He was a United States Army Veteran of the Korean War.
Salvatore met the love of his life, Margaret Nieskens, at Basile’s Candy Store on Murray Avenue in Paterson. Actually the candy store was a local hangout for Salvatore and Margaret would encourage her friends to keep circling the block in the hopes that Salvatore would notice her. Their first date was to a lookout on Garrett Mountain in his father’s car. This of course had to be done during the daytime because Margaret’s father would never let her go on a date at night. They married on March 29, 1959 first at the Wyckoff Reformed Church, Wyckoff and later at Saint James RC Church, Totowa. They honeymooned in Washington DC and later established their home in Wayne in 1963.
Salvatore’s working career spanned fifty-one years in the banking industry having begun his career with the First National Bank of New Jersey, Paterson and worked for Urban National Bank, Wyckoff, Trust Company Bank, Weehawken, Banko Popular, Union City and most recently for the First Bank Americano, Union City.
He was the loving husband of over fifty years to Margaret (Nieskins) Giannetti; loving father of Salvatore and his wife Ines of Darien, CT and Robert Giannetti and his wife Reneѐ of Pompton Plains; cherished grandfather of Lucas and Robert Edward Giannetti; loved brother of Samuel Giannetti and his wife Anita of Cedar Grove; devoted cousin of Josephine Iandiorio and her husband John of Totowa, Amelia Lixie and her husband Francis of Cooper City, FL, Patricia Nestico of Pompton Lakes and Sandra Turula and her husband Vincent of Pequannock; much loved brother-in-law of Vera Falconieri and her husband Carman of Totowa; loving uncle to several nieces and nephews.
