John "Bumper" Anthony Alperti Sr.

John was born February 3, 1946 in Dover, New Jersey to the late John "Spinny" Alperti and Eleanor Williams Alperti. He graduated from Dover High School and Fairleigh Dickinson University; he later received his master's degree from Thomas Edison State University. John enjoyed football and wrestling and coaching his sons when they were younger. John had many careers, the most recent with AT&T prior to his retirement. His happiest free time was spent with his wife, sons, grandkids, nieces and nephews with a good cigar in one hand and a Manhattan in the other.

He is survived by his wife Paty Alperti; three sons, John Alperti, Jr. and wife Sarah, Christopher Alperti and wife Sunni, and Jason Alperti and wife Jessica; three grandchildren, Ella Jaye Alperti, Adelia Alperti, and Rocco Alperti; a brother, Donald Alperti and wife Jean; four nephews, Wayne and wife Jan; David Alperti; Joshua Hasty, Lindon Walz and six nieces Dawn Alperti, Juliana Hasty, Kate Walz, Jeana Hasty, Jessica Hasty and Jaeda Hasty.

In light of the Covid-19 pandemic, a celebration of life will be held at a later date.
