William Venosa Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Gleason Funeral Home of Somerset on Aug. 25, 2023.
William Venosa, aged 75, passed away on Tuesday, August 08, 2023, at St. Peter University Medical Center in New Brunswick, New Jersey. He was born on June 04, 1948, in Newark, New Jersey, to the late Paul and Celia (Fisch) Venosa. After high school he resided in Piscataway before eventually settling in North Brunswick.
William proudly served in the US Army Reserves during the Vietnam Era. His professional journey began at Gino's Inc., where he managed restaurants in the fast food and steak house divisions. His final role at Gino's was as Unit Manager of the highest volume Ruster Steak House. He then ventured into a career at Hess Oil in Manhattan, NY, focusing on marine demurrage claims. However, his most cherished and fulfilling career for over 20 years was in BMW car sales, where he applied his strong business skills and his passion for cars. Prior to retiring, he was the Sales Manager at Open Road BMW in Edison, NJ.
Survived by his loving wife of 48 years, Lynn Venosa, his mother-in-law, Vera Golda, along with many extended family members and friends who will miss him dearly and remember him for his love of history, cars and making everyone laugh.
Funeral services will commence at 1:00 P.M. August 16, 2023 at Resurrection Cemetery in Piscataway in the chapel at the 12 Apostles Mausoleum.
In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests considering donations in Mr. William Venosa's name to The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's at www.michaeljfox.org or to St. Matthias Church at www.stmatthias.net/give. This gesture would be a meaningful tribute to honor William's memory and contribute to causes he held close to his heart.
