Louis J. Di Cristofaro III Obituary

Di Cristofaro, Louis Chris" J., III, age 75 of Paterson at rest in Wayne on November 14, 2022. Born and raised in Paterson, Louis was a 1964 graduate of Paterson Central High School and Capri Institute of Cosmetology in Clifton. He owned and operated Christopher's Beauty Supply for 30 years and was an expert hair stylist and make-up artist. "Chris" as many would call him, worked for the NJ Motor Vehicle Commission, Oakland before retiring in 2020. Lou enjoyed nothing more than spending time with his family. Countless trips to the Jersey Shore vacationing at the family home in Belmar and celebrating holidays and milestones with everyone, especially with his best friend and sister, Judy who he missed dearly upon her passing. There was no other sharp dresser than Lou. You could always spot him out in a crowd in one of his many amazing custom suits and ties. Lou's infectious smile and big heart will be missed by all who loved him unconditionally. Lou is predeceased by his parents, Louis and Angelina (Aquino) DiCristofaro and his beloved sister and best friend Judy Cuccinello (2021). He is survived by his nephews, who were more like his own sons, Louis J. Cuccinello (Jaime) of Totowa and Christopher Cuccinello (Vanessa) of Totowa. His grand nephews and nieces, Christopher Cuccinello Jr., Noah Cuccinello, Angelina Cuccinello and Isabella Cuccinello, who will miss their Uncle Roko.
