Joseph Natale

Clifton - Joseph "Joey" "Pino" Natale, 58, of Clifton, died suddenly on Tuesday, July 1st at his condo in Wildwood Crest, NJ.

Beloved husband of Maura Ann Natale (nee Lemley), married 19 years, and father of his daughter, Brianna Kennedy and their two pups, Lily and Rosie. Joe was a longtime resident of Clifton, previously residing in North Haledon, NJ and Casalbordino, Abruzzo, Italy. He was the son of Maria Teresa, and the late Luigi Natale of Casalbordino, Abruzzo, Italy; brother of Filomena Caravaggio and her husband, Silvio of Rocco San Giovanni, Abruzzo, and Maurizio Natale of Burlington, Ontario, Canada. He is survived by his nieces and nephews, Vanessa and Flavio Caravaggio of Rocco San Giovanni, Abruzzo, Italy; Meagan and Kenneth Lemley of Wayne, NJ; his goddaughter, Faith Emilia Lemley of Williamsburg, VA; Dante and Olivia Natale of Burlington, Ontario; his brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law, Ken and Seidy Lemley of Wayne, NJ, Tom and Sherry Lemley of Oak Ridge, NJ, Curtis and Sonia Lemley of Williamsburg, VA and Barbara Lemley of Roseland, NJ; and his uncles and cousins around the globe. 

Joe was a graduate of Don Bosco Tech. He honed his cooking skills at E&V Ristorante in Paterson, NJ; and later worked at MayPak, Inc. in Wayne, NJ as a production manager for over 26 years.

Cooking for his family was his gift. His lasagna and meatballs and homemade pizza were a crowd favorite; or on a very special occasion, his chicken with apples. If Joe cooked for you, you became his family. 

An avid New Jersey Devils fan, he shared time at the home games with Maura and Brianna at every chance. 

Being with his family and friends in Wildwood Crest was the highlight of his weekends; at home on the beach was his happy place.

His life was a blessing for all of us.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, July 19th from 12:30 - 4:30 PM with a Memorial Service at 3:00 PM at Bizub-Quinlan Funeral Home, 1313 Van Houten Avenue, Clifton. A Memorial Mass will be held at 10:30 AM Saturday, July 12th at la Chiesa Parrochiale di Casalbordino, Casalbordino, Abruzzo, Italy.
