Obituary

Crispino "Sonny" Farrace, 85, of Little Egg Harbor, passed peacefully at his home, with his family at his side, on Thursday,  June 10, 2021.

He was born on May 10, 1936, at the Polyclinic Hospital in Manhattan, NYC. He married Vincenza Galante, the love of his life on May 15, 1965. Their incredible marriage lasted for 56 years. Moving to Menlo Park Terrace in Woodbridge Township where he raised his pride and joy—his family; two daughters Darlene and Linda and his triplet sons, Crispin, Joseph, and Salvatore; 51 years of incredible memories in Menlo Park Terrace, before moving to Little Egg Harbor 16 years ago.

He loved the red, white and blue. He stood for this country and proudly served in the US Army with the Military Police and the Reserves for 6 years. Be it for your country or your family: "United we stand - divided we fall."

Sonny was passionate about life. He loved his Lionel trains. He loved to make people laugh and he certainly loved doing so through his storytelling. Sonny loved building and creating; he was a talented artist with a keen eye for perfection. For over 45 years he worked in NYC as a talented and skilled commercial artist; senior studio manager designing for companies: Clairol, Bristol Myers Squibb, Chanel, L'Oreal, Camel Cigarettes, and General Mills Cereal to name a few.

Sonny was a member of the BPO Elks Mother Lodge # 21 of Newark, NJ, a member of the Knights of Columbus, St Cecelia's Council #3639 in Iselin, and the American Legion Post of Barnegat, NJ.

He will be missed by all. His beloved wife, Vincy Farrace, his 5 children; Darlene Farrace-Prott and her husband Gregory, of East Brunswick, Linda Farrace-Alves and her husband Joseph Alves Jr., of Helmetta, Crispin J. Farrace and his wife Kerry of Freehold, Joseph P. Farrace and his wife Cecelia, of Spotswood and Salvatore V. Farrace of Old Bridge, and his dear 11 grandchildren will carry on his memory: Crispin, Benjamin, and Antonina Prott, Jovanna, Angelina, and Gabriella Alves, Crispin, Nathan and Vito Farrace, and Giuliana and Giuseppe Farrace.
