Everybody , misses you Nello !!

Nello was a great guy . He used to stop over our house , before he went bowling with his brother in law , Sam Fabrizio . Always was a pleasure to talk with Nello .

Nello used to bowl with my step father , Sam Fabrizio , and his brother , Frank , and my family could always expect him to drop by on Monday nites to pick up Sam .

Nello was a very pleasant, enjoyable man to be around and we always looked forward to seeing him the next Monday , where we sometimes forced him to eat a second dinner , which he usually was successful at .

You rest in peace , Nello , you worked hard in life , were very successful , had a great family and I...

My husband has so many fond memories of his Uncle Nello! I remember when I first met him while dating Steve. I could early on see why he was so special to my husband. Such a kind and wonderful man! Now he is at peace and with our Lord and Dolly. Thoughts and prayers with the entire Cozzini Family.

I have so many fond memories of my Uncle Nello that I don't know where to begin.

I remember one time that Nello and Dolly his late wife treated my wife Jill to a weekend in Atlantic City, NJ at Harrah's. Uncle Nello told me how he had won about $10,000 playing a slot machine. Uncle Nello refused to give any of the money to Aunt Dolly because he knew it would never make it home to Toms River, NJ. Rather, Uncle Nello split the money between his kids equally. Dolly was furious. She...

Nello Cozzini was not only my father-in-law, he was also my friend.

When I married his daughter Theresa, in 1978, I not only took a wife, I gained a second father.

Nello and I enjoyed many good times together. Whether it was hunting at 4:30 am at Round Valley, NJ; sanding & painting his boat in the spring; fishing down the Jersey Shore; stopping by his Grinding Shop to visit him; or just talking in my backyard.

I will truly miss those days.
Rest in peace "Pops". And...

Dear Michael, Bridget, Terri, Anthony and family,
Our sincere sympathy on the loss of your dear Dad. We have fond memories of Nello; especially his sense of humor, the sparkle in his eyes and his joyful countenance whenever we were blessed to be in his presence. From the many happy family gatherings to the chance encounters Pat would have with Nello on the streets of "down neck' Newark, we were always greeted with a warm smile and a welcoming embrace.
We were blessed to have...

Anthony - Our heartfelt condolences to you and your family.

As hard as it is to say goodbye, I take comfort in knowing that you're with the Lord and have finally been reunited with your beloved Dolly.

I have so many wonderful memories of times we've spent together; walks along the Pt. Pleasant boardwalk, giving me a special soda from your stash at the Maplewood house, and you're favorite line, "Wish I felt as good as you look". Rest in peace, dear uncle.

Cozzini family please know you are all in my thoughts and prayers. Wish I...
