Publish in a newspaper

Michael J. De Pierro, 81, of Rochelle Park, passed away on Saturday, August 23, 2025. Before retiring, Michael worked in maintenance for the U.S. Postal Service, where he dedicated his career to ensuring the smooth operation of its facilities. Known for his quick wit and love of storytelling, Michael had a gift for bringing people together with his tales. He was an avid reader who never missed a day without completing a crossword and reading two newspapers cover to cover. Michael also enjoyed the thrill of scratch-off lottery tickets and looked forward to trips to Atlantic City, always chasing a little luck and a lot of fun.

Devoted husband of Susan De Pierro (nee Ranuro). Cherished brother of Alfred (Marie) De Pierro, and Thomas (Karen) De Pierro. Loving uncle of Christina (Ray) Bauer, and great-niece, Arianna Bauer. Beloved brother-in-law of Fred (Katherine) Ranuro. Michael leaves behind his dear friend, Maxine Braun. Predeceased by his parents Carmine S. and Phyllis De Pierro, and siblings Vincent and Theresa De Pierro.

Family will receive friends on Wednesday, August 27, 2025, from 3:00 pm - 8:00 pm, at the Vander Plaat Memorial Home, 113 South Farview Avenue, Paramus, NJ. Funeral Service will be held at 11:00 am on Thursday, August 28, 2025, at the Vander Plaat Memorial Home, Paramus, NJ. Interment immediately following at St. Mary's Cemetery, Saddle Brook, NJ.
