Pat D Juliano

Pat (Pasquale) D. Juliano, 93, of Toms River, New Jersey passed away peacefully on Saturday, May 16, 2020. Pat was proudly born in Brooklyn, New York on November 15, 1926 to Donato and Emma Juliano, and was raised with his eight siblings, Ralph, Joseph, Peter, Marie, Rosie, Anna, Camille and Louisa. Pat was a one-of-a- kind, a genuine soul who enjoyed life and lived it to the fullest.

From 1943 until 1946, Pat served his country through the Navy in WWII. During this time he continued to thrive in his love of boxing and earned the Navy Golden Gloves award, which he continued to proudly talk about throughout the rest of his life to all his family and friends! After being discharged in 1946, Pat continued to serve his country through the Air Force Reserves until the Vietnam War. He began a career in electrical work and as a stage hand to many successful shows like, “As The World Turns.” Pat was elected to the Board of Trustees for IATSE Local #4.

On August 9, 1947, Pat married his wife, Regina (Jean) Juliano. During their 72 years of marriage, they had five amazing children, Robert, Regina, Stephen, Elizabeth and Barbara. After his children moved on or married Pat and Jean moved to Staten Island, New York where he retired and spent as much time as he could enjoying life, friends and his family. Pat thoroughly enjoyed the gym being the social butterfly he always was! In 1997, Pat and Jean moved to Toms River, New Jersey, to be closer to family.

Pat is survived by his wife, Jean, his children Regina, Stephen, Elizabeth, Barbara; his daughter-in-law, Lisa; his sons-in-law, John, Eugene and Richard; his beloved and cherished grandchildren, Gina, Anthony, Nicholas, Sophia, Julianna and Thomas. Due to COVID 19, there are no funeral services scheduled.

Pat was and always will be a one-of-a-kind, caring, funny, happy and joyful soul. He drilled many valuable lessons into his children and grandchildren knowing that one day he would not be around to remind them. The most valuable of all his teachings was that, “Family is everything! Friends may come and go, but your family is always there!” He spent his life building a strong and successful family unit, he fought cancer, heart failure and so many other health challenges because he loved his family. His family is his legacy, his treasure and his everything! Pat will be so missed but never forgotten! He truly, as Frank Sinatra put it, “Had the world on a string Sittin' on a rainbow. Got the string around his finger. What a world, what a life, I'm in love!”
