Obituary
GAROFFOLO,
Antonino "Maestro Nino"
of Cresskill, N.J.,
died suddenly on March 24, 2016 while visiting friends in the Dominican Republic. Nino was born in Pellegrina Reggio Calabria, Italy in 1934. He was active in many Italian organizations in the US since his arrival in 1968.
Nino was a master carpenter and took great pride in his craft. Although he often stated that soccer was his greatest passion, in fact his love of family and friends was truly that which was most important.
He is survived by his wife Carol, his stepchildren Stephanie Erd, Christopher Erd and his wife Susan Mauro, four loving step grandchildren, six nieces and nephews, and two sisters Pina and Carmela in Italy. He was predeceased by one sister and two brothers.
Nino was a tough little guy with a huge heart and will be greatly missed by many.
Funeral from the A.K. Macagna Funeral Home 495 Anderson Avenue Cliffside Park, N.J. on Wednesday, April 6, 2016 at 9:00am. thence to Our Lady of Grace R.C. Church in Fairview, N.J. where a Funeral Mass will be offered at 10:00am.
Entombment to follow at Garden of Memories Mausoleum in Township of Washington, N.J. The family will receive their friends Tuesday 4-8pm.
The family kindly requests that Nino be memorialized with a donation to the American Heart Association 2550 US Highway 1 North Brunswick, NJ 08903 instead of any flower offerings.
