Julius Rosato Obituary Julius A. Rosato, 77, passed away Tuesday, January 14th, at Bayshore Community Hospital surrounded by his family. He was born in South Amboy on March 10, 1947, and was a lifelong resident of Keyport.
Jules was predeceased by his beloved wife, Marianne (Shane) Rosato, with whom he shared two children, Julius Rosato, Jr. (wife Denise) and Loretta Keogh (husband Sean); five grandchildren Jenna, Amanda, Brianna, Dillon, and Hunter; great-granddaughter, Dakota, and his faithful companion of the past 12 years, his pug, Tuffy.
Julius was a devoted son to his late parents, Albert and Stella, a brother to Maryann Provini and Theresa Natarcola who predeceased him, and surviving sisters Dianne Swift (husband Thomas) Antoinette Frate (husband Paul). He was, also, a cherished brother in law to Brian Provini and Louis Natarcola, as well as an adored uncle to many nieces and nephews.

He was, also, a 50 year member of Lincoln Hose Fire Company in Keyport and a member of the Joe Pennetto Bowling League in Hazlet. He loved spending time outdoors hunting with friends and family. He especially loved hosting family and friends at his backyard pool, affectionately referred to as "Uncle Jules Pool Club".
