Dennis "Junior" Dupray

Junior was raised in West New York, NJ, and was a former resident of Hudson County and Bergen County before relocating to Manchester, New Jersey in 2020. Throughout his life, he was warmly regarded and deeply loved, remembered for the easy humor he carried with him and the spirited, adventurous way he embraced the moments that mattered.

Junior built a life around music and the joy it brings to others. A professional disc jockey, he entertained audiences at Hitsville, The Meadowbrook, The Loop Lounge, and Aldo's Hideaway. His love of music was more than an interest—it was a calling that connected him to people, places, and countless good times, leaving behind memories that will be cherished by all who heard him play.

Junior is survived by his long term partner, Tina Rotondo; his sisters, Roberta Ciocher and Dianne Dupray; his daughters, Michelle Dupray and Christine Dupray and her partner Gerald Mon. He is also survived by several nieces, nephews, extended family, and dear friends.
