Paul Navone

September 28, 1929 - November 22, 2015

Paul Navone, age 86 of Millville, passed away Sunday, November 22, 2015 at Inspira Medical Center, Vineland after a brief illness. Born and raised in Vineland, he was a life long Millville resident. At the age of 16, Paul began working at the Castellini Farms in Vineland for a few years, before enlisting in the U.S. Army. He served two years during the Korean War. For the next 45 years, he worked as a Quality Control Technician for Kerr Glass in Millville and retired. He was a member of St. Mary Magdalen Roman Catholic Church in Millville. Wednesday mornings he could be found at McDonalds, calling out the Bingo numbers for the senior citizens, and later that same day, he always helped maintain a garden at St. Augustine Prep. He especially enjoyed spending time at the flea markets. A kind man with a big heart, Paul found great joy in helping others. Through the years, he was a generous supporter of The St. Augustine Prep, The Millville Army Airfield Museum, Cumberland County College, and St. Mary's Church in Millville. He was passionate about making a positive difference in his own thoughtful way. Paul is survived by his sister Rose Capazzi of Vineland; his dear friend Cindi Zadroga of Millville; and many nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his parents, Secundo and Adele (Guaschio) Navone; and his siblings, Mary Muller, Ernie Navone, and John Navone.
