Gregory A Federico

Greg Federico,81, of Mountainside, passed away peacefully on May 6, surrounded by family.  He was born in Hillside, New Jersey to the late Patsy and Lucy Federico, and resided in Mountainside most of his life.

He graduated from Jonathan Dayton regional high school in 1961. After graduating, he enlisted and proudly served his country in the US Army National Guard and was honorably discharged as Sergeant.
He worked endlessly at his family fuel business and dedicated his life career to making sure fuel oil was delivered, oil burners were fixed, customers had heat and was always lending an ear to anybody that needed to talk.
He was a true family man. He enjoyed trips to Florida, Miami Beach being his favorite, but one thing Gregory lived for most was spending time at his home for macaroni on Sunday’s with family and friends. He especially enjoyed his summers at his pool with all the kids, jumping and splashing, but truly cherished his wife, Rita of 57 years. They were always seen holding hands and making sure he was never far behind her.
Greg was predeceased by his brothers, Louis & Patrick and his sister, Suzanne Amato.  Surviving is his wife, Rita Federico;  son, Patrick and his wife, Lori ;  daughter, Debbie, and her husband, Fred; and 8 beautiful grandchildren, Gregory, Alexandria, Patrick, Kristina, Anthony, Vincent, Christian, and Isabella, as well as his grand dogs and horses.

He will truly be missed by all who knew and loved him.
