It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of John Auriemma of Verona, New Jersey. He departed peacefully on Saturday, surrounded by his family, leaving behind a legacy of love, kindness, and devotion. John was a devoted husband, loving father, and cherished friend whose warm presence touched the lives of so many.
Born and raised in Verona, John lived there for most of his life. He and his wife shared decades of marriage built on mutual respect, laughter, and unwavering support. Their partnership was the foundation of a family rooted in love, stability, and shared values. As a father, John was patient, generous, and deeply committed — always ready to lend a hand, lend an ear, or share a smile.
John’s warmth extended far beyond his immediate family. He was the kind of neighbor who greeted you with a wave and a genuine “How are you?” He volunteered quietly in the community, offering his time to help with neighborhood events and local causes. His quiet generosity and gentle humor left a mark on everyone who knew him.
He is survived by his beloved wife, his children, and grandchildren, all of whom carry forward his legacy of kindness and compassion. Family dinners, neighborhood gatherings, and simple Friday-night conversations — these shared moments are John’s enduring legacy. Though he is now gone, the warmth of his love lives on in every heart he touched.
A memorial service will be held next week at the local church, followed by a private family gathering. In this time of grief, we remember John not only with sorrow at his loss but gratitude for the gifts he gave: love, kindness, and a life lived well.
