Pellegrino

Girolamo "Jerry" Pellegrino passed away peacefully on April 11, 2026, at the age of 87, surrounded by his loving family.

Born and raised in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn, Jerry was the son of Teresa Giordano and Michael Pellegrino. He attended a trade high school where he developed his skill in printing, a craft that would shape his lifelong career. Jerry proudly served in the United States Army as a sharpshooter, stationed in Europe from 1961 to 1963. Upon honorable discharge, Jerry received a Good Conduct Medal.

In 1965, Jerry married the love of his life, Concetta Sculco. Together, they shared more than 60 wonderful years of marriage, building a life centered on love, family, and faith. Connie and Jerry moved to Ridgefield, New Jersey in 1974 where they raised their two children, Theresa and Michael. Jerry loved the beach and the family traveled annually to Wildwood Crest for vacation.

Following his military service, he returned to where he started his career in the print shop at Prudential Bache Securities. Commuting each day into Manhattan, Jerry remained dedicated for 42 years and retired in 1998. His strong work ethic and commitment were evident throughout his career.

Jerry's greatest joy was his family. He was a loving husband, a proud father, and absolutely devoted grandfather. He created countless memories with his entire family, especially during the spontaneous gatherings in the backyard and the Italian food-filled holidays that brought everyone together. He cherished spending time with his five grandchildren, often teasing and joking with Isabella, Amanda, Nicholas, Sophia and Mikey.

Jerry leaves behind a legacy of love, laughter, and resilience that will live on in the hearts of all who knew him. He will be deeply missed, forever loved, and never forgotten.
