Born and raised in Paterson, Giannone lived in West Paterson and Clifton for many years prior to settling in Fair Lawn a year ago. Before he retired, he was the owner and operator of T&G Trucking Company, in Paterson, for many years.
An Army veteran of World War II, he was an avid wine maker, who enjoyed boxing and frequenting the Meadowlands Race Track.

Giannone is survived by his children, James Giannone, Dottie Mayo and Julie Mayo; grandchildren Lisa, Eric, Darla and Adam; great-grandchildren Corey, Nicholas, Rachel, Emma and James; and many nieces and nephews.
He was preceded by his wife, Julia (Nauta) Giannone, and his siblings, Mateo Giannone, Carmela Farrell, Frances Cascone and Jean O'Donnell.
