Gary R. Pollino, 78, passed away peacefully on December 24, 2025, at Meadowbrook Care Center in Matawan, New Jersey. Gary was born on July 26, 1947, in Perth Amboy, New Jersey, to his late parents, Roy and Janice (Smith) Pollino. He spent his early years growing up in Perth Amboy before making the move to Colonia in 1981, where he established his home and raised his family. In 2017, he settled in Iselin, New Jersey. Before his retirement, Gary's professional journey was marked by his role as a Supervisor of Production for Revlon cosmetic company, where he devoted many years of dedicated service.

Beyond his professional life, Gary was a pillar of strength and love for his family. He is survived by his three sons, Ryan R. Pollino and his wife Alissa, Jason Pollino and his wife Amy, and Darin Pollino and his wife Cherylin and his cherished grandchildren, Mackenzie and Dylan.

As we bid farewell to Gary, we celebrate a life well-lived, a journey well-traveled, and a man well-loved. His spirit will remain a guiding force, and his memory will be held in the hearts of those who were fortunate enough to have known him.
