Angelo John “Sharkey” Scaglione of Northvale passed peacefully at 96 years old on Wednesday, December 18, 2024. He is predeceased by his loving wife Catherine (nee Gangeri). He is survived and loved by all of his children, Theresa and husband Robert Brenner of Satellite Beach, Florida, Joseph Scaglione and partner Fara Evans of Northvale, John and wife Roberta Scaglione of Kihei, Hawaii, Peter and wife Ramona Scaglione of Mercerville, NJ, Thomas and wife Ann Scaglione of San Marcos, California, and Catherine and husband Edmilson Amaral of Sparkill, NY. He is a beloved grandfather and great-grandfather of many grandchildren as well as a loving uncle and friend to so many.
Sharkey was born in Norwood and proudly raised his family with his devoted wife of over 40 years in Northvale. A talented landscape designer all of his life, he opened a landscaping business with his brother Joe (now 101 years old) and eventually went solo employing all of his sons and many local residents of the community. In his retirement, he would sketch pictures which he later turned into cards to share with everyone he loved. His artistry and creativity was a gift to many. His sense of humor and readiness with a joke was part of his charm and incredible personality. He had an uncanny ability to make everyone around him smile. That smile will be dearly missed.
Sharkey was a devoted Detroit Lions fan and it was his hope and dream to see them finally reach a Super Bowl. Go Lions!!
