It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of John Cellini "Junior," 77, a beloved figure in North Bergen, who left this world on April 19, 2025.
John is survived by his son, John M. Cellini, and his wife, Mandy Cellini; his daughter, Danielle Lynch, and her husband, Anthony Lynch; and his five cherished grandchildren: Diona, Summer, Lauren, Anthony, and Justin. He is also survived by his brother, Rudolph Cellini, and his wife, Annette Cellini; his sister, Phyllis Welch; and numerous nieces and nephews. He is predeceased by his brother, Peter Cellini, sister-in-law Cassiana Cellini, and brother-in-law George Welch, Sr.
A proud graduate of the class of 1966 from North Bergen High School, John was an avid football player and continued to nurture his passion for the sport by coaching the Bruins. He served as the supervisor of North Bergen Recreation, where he took immense pride in working with the children of the community.
John will be remembered for his kindness, dedication, and the lasting impact he made on those around him. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
Let the family know you care by leaving your condolences, favorite memories and thoughts and prayers on the Tribute Wall.
