We are sad to announce that on June 4, 2023 we had to say goodbye to James Gentilesco of Holmdel, New Jersey, born in East Elmhurst, New York. Leave a sympathy message to the family in the guestbook on this memorial page of James Gentilesco to show support.

He is survived by: his sons, James and Thomas; his daughter-in-law Marissa; his grandchildren, Giuliana and Carter; and also Barbara Gentilesco.

In lieu of flowers please consider making a donation in Jim's name to either Memorial Sloan Kettering, for his successfully-won recent cancer battles, or The New Jersey Symphony Orchestra (for his love of classical music).

Lenny Dickson wrote a sympathy message

“Jimmy was a bright light to me in 5th and 6th grade.Funny,and generous.Only kid to ever treat me to a slice of pizza.When discussing movies with him at the time,he asked me if I saw Imitation of Life.What a strange but wonderfully adult choice of a film to brag about.He bore a resemblance to a young Jackie Gleason,and I always cnsidered his mother a glamour girl.Thanks for the memory's Jimmy and the pizza.Too bad we couldnt connect after P.S. 148,although we both went to 145&Newtown H/S.
