Kenneth Andrew Esola “Kenny, KenDog”, 64, passed away on Thursday, October 30, 2025 surrounded by his loving family.

He was born in Teaneck NJ, Kenny was the son of Jeanne Cutrona and the late John Esola. He grew up in Northvale, with his stepmom Terri Esola Englehardt and the late John Esola, where he formed many lifelong friendships that he cherished throughout his life.

Kenny was known by all for his kindness, caring nature, and willingness to help anyone in need. He was genuine, humble, and lived life to the fullest. He found joy in simple pleasures—spending time outdoors, caring for all animals, helping neighbors and friends, playing his guitars, and riding his motorcycle. His love for live music took him traveling from coast to coast, where he touched countless lives and made lifelong friends along the way. To know Kenny was to love him, and he always had a smile for everyone he met.

He dedicated his life’s work to the glass industry and took great pride in his craft as a member of the Glaziers Union Local 718. His hard work, skill, and integrity earned the respect and admiration of his colleagues and friends.

In recent years, Kenny enjoyed his retirement in Vanceboro, NC surrounded by the people and places he loved most.

He is survived by his siblings John Esola, Jeanne Cutrona-Vera,  Richard Esola, better known to Kenny as “Chop Chop” and his wife Loretta, Dave Esola, also known as “Lopes”, and younger sister Chrissy Esola. He will be deeply missed by his many aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, and great-nieces and nephews.

A celebration of Kenny’s life will be held at Pizzi Funeral Home 120 Paris Ave in Northvale, NJ 07647 on Tuesday, January 20, 2026 From 4-7. Family and friends near and far are welcome to join.

Gerard “Jerry” Lenahan, 98, of Northvale, NJ, passed away at home on Sunday, December 14th, 2025. Beloved husband of the late Alice (nee Betz). Cherished father of Maureen Coberly, Alisa Perretti (and her husband Daniel), and Susan Treanor (and her husband Frank). Proud Grandfather of Jennifer (late Chris), Melissa, Emily (Tom), and Jesse (Tanya). Adored Great-Grandfather of Lily. Dearest brother of the late William and late Agnes. 

In his career, Jerry was a telephone installer for The New York Telephone Company for 48 years in New York City and was past-President of the New York Telephone Pioneers (a volunteer organization focused on promoting fellowship and community service). After the telephone company, Jerry enjoyed a second career for some years at Pyrometer Instrument Company in Northvale. Jerry then enjoyed his “retired” life as a crossing guard in Northvale (which lasted for some 18-odd years), manning the same post at the railroad tracks near Veteran’s Park for the entirety of his time. 

Socially, Jerry was an active parishioner of St. Anthony’s Church (singing for many years in the choir), enjoyed the Northvale Golden Age Club and Senior Center, and was a proud Navy Veteran who was involved with both the American Legion Post 366 and the VFW. He was also a life-time member of the Friendly Sons of St. Patrick Glee Club in New York City, which he got great enjoyment from participating in for over sixty years.

Jerry will forever be remembered as the “Voice of Northvale”, singing not only on Sundays at St. Anthony’s Parish but at many funerals and weddings and Northvale events such as Memorial Day, Veteran’s Day, and the opening day of baseball season. 

Jerry was sociable, laughing often and known in his not-so-long-ago younger years as the life of the party. He loved to joke and pull funny faces, making his family laugh for hours. He was kind, friendly, and quite beloved by both his family and acquaintances. Recognized often and spoken of fondly, he will be missed by all who knew him. Jerry was simply “one of a kind”.
