November 20, 1926 – April 8, 2021

Onorato Giurici, age 94, died peacefully in Punta Gorda, FL. He lived a long, healthy life, and during his brief illness before his death he spent it making even more memories with his daughters Maureen and Nora, and his granddaughter Jenna at his bedside.

Together they moved to New Jersey and raised their two daughters. Onorato worked in the embroidery industry throughout his life, most recently at Quadelle in North Bergen, NJ.

Onorato was a kind and compassionate man and a caring, loving husband. His children and grandchildren all looked up to him, and his family and his friends knew he could always be counted on for help or a kind word. He liked the simple things in life, such as gardening and wine making.
