Robert Nardizzi Obituary
formerly of Long Beach Island
Robert Louis Nardizzi, passed away after an extended illness on Monday, April 13, 2015. The son of the late Mildred and Ted Nardizzi, he was born in Yonkers, NY on April 25, 1947. He attended the University of Dayton and earned a Master's Degree in Education. He taught in the Yonkers school system for several years. In 1976, he bought Nardi's Tavern on Long Beach Island, NJ, which he owned and operated for 30 years.
He is survived by his wife, Beverly Nardizzi; his sister, JoAnn Nardizzi; his sons, Robert and Teddy Nardizzi; his step-son, Jonathan Garsman; his granddaughter, Siena Grace Nardizzi and his grandson, Aiden Jacob Garsman, as well as many other relatives and friends, all of whom loved him dearly.
He was a truly caring and selfless person, and gave of himself willingly and without question to help others. Bobby was a unique man, who, sometimes in our lives we have the rare privilege of crossing paths. Those who knew him and were touched by his warmth and kindness, as well as his adventurous nature and zest for life, will remember him always with a special love. He will be missed, and he will forever be in our memory and in our hearts.
Donations appreciated for those that took such great care of him: Grace Health Care, 105 Fieldcrest Ave., Edison, NJ 08837.

Bev, I am so sorry for your loss. Years ago, my fiancé John and I spent a lot of time with Bobby over a 10 year period. He was a sweet guy and we made some great memories. In later years, he was very kind to me personally. I'll be praying for you.

I was saddened to hear about Bob and extend my deepest sympathy. Bob was and will always be a legend on LBI and missed very much. My family and I started going to Nardi's in the summer of 1980 and have so many fond memories, thanks to Bob. When he hired me my first summer living on LBI, I saw what a well-respected businessman and good person he was. Bev, you and all your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Sincerely, Rena DiNeno

My deepest condolences to the family on your loss. I have such great memories of Bob and Nardi's. I'll miss that great big smile and twinkle in his eyes which he still had a couple of summers back even when that terrible disease was all to present. I am suddenly very nostalgic for the 80's and 90's on LBI. Bobby, Salute!
