Celebrating the Life of Angelo R. Pierri of Totowa, NJ

It is with heavy hearts and profound gratitude for a long life, well-lived that we announce the passing of Angelo Raffaele Pierri, who on February 5th, 2026, peacefully entered into rest at the age of 92. A man of iron will and a strong heart, he leaves behind a legacy defined by devotion, sacrifice, and the enduring strength of the family he built.

Born in the Province of Salerno, Italy in 1933, Angelo was one of eight children. Growing up alongside his brothers and sisters, he learned early on the importance of loyalty, hard work, commitment, and values that would define his entire life.

70 years ago, he married the love of his life, Anna Pierri, in their beloved homeland. Seeking a future of opportunity, they immigrated to the United States and proudly became US citizens. Angelo was focused on his family; he spent many years as the proprietor of his own small businesses and worked hard to provide for his family.

Angelo's greatest masterpiece was his family:

His beloved wife, Anna, his partner for life.

His five children, Ralph, Ron, Anna Marie, Frank and Angelo, who all carry forward his values of integrity and commitment.

His daughters-in-law and a son-in-law.

His nine grandchildren Jennifer, Gabrielle, Montana, Nathaniel, Enzo, Massimo, Milo and pre-deceased Bianca and Jaeger.

His five great-grandchildren.

His seven pre-deceased siblings and a large extended family of nieces, nephews and their families in the U.S., Italy and Brazil.
