Steve

Napolitano

With profound sadness, we announce the passing of Steve Napolitano a beloved husband, father, and grandfather.  Steve passed away on July 22, 2025.
He was born on January 21, 1938 in the Bronx, N.Y. and raised in Baiano, a province of Avellino, Italy.  He returned to the United States when he was 18.

He met his loving wife, Mary Anello at her best friend's wedding in 1962 and they went on to be married in 1965.  Steve and Mary raised their family and built a beautiful life together full of love and happiness in Ridgefield, NJ for the last 60 years. Before retiring, Steve worked for Lehr Construction, Local #79 in New York City.
Steve was a devoted father to Rina Napolitano Nowka (and her husband Sterling) and Steven Napolitano (and his wife Michelle).  Steve was also a loving and adoring  grandfather to Sterling, Steven, Lia and Ava.

In his free time, Steve enjoyed gardening, planting vegetables, hunting wild mushrooms and was most famous for his homemade limoncello and grappa.  He also spent almost twenty years enjoying his retirement with Mary, his children and grandchildren in Naples, FL.  He lived a life full of many cherished memories, holidays and special occasions enjoying what he loved.  Most of all, he loved spending time with his family.

He was the best husband, father and grandfather and he will be missed immeasurably by his entire family.
