Joseph M. Gargano

On July 30, 2025, of Washington Twp.  Age 86.  Beloved husband of June D. (nee Groff).  Devoted father of Sharon Pino (Richard), Cindy Liles (Tom) and the late William Justice.  Loving grandfather of Thomas, Judy, Candice, Spencer, and Carter.  Proud great-grandfather of Michael, Raysean, Cyrus, Kireina, Lyanna, Lane, and Sterling.  Cherished son of the late Michael and Josephine (nee Vitagliano) Gargano.  Dear brother of the late Nicholas Gargano.

Joseph Gargano was a man of many names.  His closest friends called him Bones, his family called him Pop, and his wife called him the love of her life.  Joe was an extremely dedicated family man.  You could catch Joe cheering on his grandchildren from the sidelines at sporting events or awards ceremonies.  He adored his church where you could always see him praying by the blessed mother, laughing with friends, and rejoicing in his faith.  He was a proud veteran of the United States Army and loved serving his country.  Joe retired as a lieutenant after 34 years of service from the New Jersey Turnpike Authority.  Whenever he had some leisure time you could catch him cheering on the Philadelphia Phillies or Eagles.  Joe lived a beautiful life and was adored by all who knew him.  He is forever loved and will be greatly missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him.

Family and friends are invited to attend his visitation Thursday 10:30 am – 12:00 pm at the Church of the Holy Family, 226 Hurffville Road, Sewell, NJ 08080.  Mass of Christian Burial 12:00 pm.  Interment St. Mary’s Cemetery, Williamstown.
