Obituary

Paul F. Peragine was born on November 23, 1953 in Fairview, NJ.  He grew up with a loving family and attended St. John's Grammar School in Fairview where he made many friends who he maintained throughout his life.  It was a happy childhood filled with love.
To know Paul was to love him.  It is impossible to forget Paul's sense of humor, penchant for telling a good story, contagious laugh and how much he enjoyed himself in the company of good friends and family.  Everyone has wonderful stories and memories about Paul.
After graduating from Touro Law School in 1984, Paul practiced law for 34 years.  He was an accomplished transactional real estate attorney practicing in NY and NJ, whose clients often became life-long friends.  He lived a full life and was a steadfast friend.  He was a man with a big heart who loved to travel, watch his beloved Mets, Giants, the Rolling Stones, all things Italy, Mohammed Ali, licorice, telling or listening to a good story and, of course, summers at his house in Loveladies (on Long Beach Island).
Paul's life changed when he met the love of his life, Mamiko, while shopping for ties in Manhattan in 2007.  Mamiko worked in a Japanese-made tie store near Paul's office. Soon after, friends started noticing Paul wearing new ties every day and, eventually, true love took its course.  Paul and Mamiko were married at the Grand Excelsior Vittorio Hotel in Sorrento, Italy on an unforgettable night in October 2015, a beautiful occasion cherished by all in attendance.
Paul is survived by his devoted wife of 6 years, Mamiko, his loving sister, Christine Montemurno, brother in-law, Pete Montemurno, nephews, Peter and James Montemurno, as well as many cherished in-laws, including Mamiko's family in Japan, cousins, countless friends and colleagues.
