Affectionately Known as Jerry

Romolo G. Colantone, lovingly known as Jerry, was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend whose larger-than-life personality and even bigger heart left a lasting impression on everyone fortunate enough to know him.

Jerry is survived by his beloved wife, Kathy; his children, Anthony (Joy), Dara (Anthony), Alex, and (Kristine); his cherished grandchildren, Anthony, Dylan, Alex, Avery, and Dominic; and his loving siblings, Carolyn , (Vito), Michael, and (Mary). He also leaves behind his beloved pseudo-son, Michael Scott, and his wife, Doris, along with many nieces, nephews, cousins, and dear friends who were blessed to be part of his life.

Jerry was a man of honor, dignity, and unwavering character. He had a generous heart, a remarkable spirit, and a presence that could fill any room. He loved deeply, stood firmly by the people he cared about, and had a way of making a lasting impression wherever he went.

Jerry began his career delivering oil and, through hard work and dedication, ultimately became a respected supervisor with the NYC Parks Department. His strong work ethic was a source of pride and a value he instilled in his children. His love of hunting, fishing, and the great outdoors reflected his adventurous spirit and appreciation for nature. For many years, he proudly served as president of the Richmond Boro Gun Club, where he made a meaningful impact on the shooting community and built lasting friendships that will continue to honor his contributions.

Above all, Jerry's greatest legacy is the love he shared, the lives he touched, and the countless memories he leaves behind. His strength, loyalty, generous nature, and unmistakable personality will never be forgotten.

Though his passing leaves an immeasurable void in the hearts of those who loved him, his spirit will live on through his family, the stories they share, and the memories that will forever bring smiles through their tears.

Jerry will be profoundly missed and forever loved by all who knew him. May he rest peacefully, reunited with the loved ones who went before him, knowing that his life made a meaningful difference and that he will always hold a special place in the hearts of those he leaves behind.

Forever loved, forever remembered, and never forgotten.
