Joe was born in Plainfield, N.J., raised in New Hope, Pa., and lived in North Plainfield, N.J., Westfield, N.J., Farmingdale, N.J., and Howell, N.J., before settling in Jackson in 2008. Joe was a 1975 graduate of Scotch Plains-Fanwood High School. Joe had a lifelong career in the automotive industry. He was the used-car manager for Manhattan Honda in New York City. Prior to that, he was the general manager for Bell Ford in Colonia, N.J., and began his career at Autoland in Springfield, N.J. Joe was a member of the Elks Lodge No. 2613, Millstone, N.J. He was a New York Giants fan and loved to make a big pot of sauce on football Sundays. Joe was a true outdoorsman who had a passion for hunting and fishing and his time at the shooting range, but he really loved riding his motorcycle. Joe enjoyed sitting on his deck feeding the birds and squirrels, smoking a cigar and drinking a glass of wine. He relished his days on the beach, skiing on the mountains and playing his guitar and drums. In high school, Joe played drums with Pat DiNizio, who would later become the lead singer of the Smithereens. Joe was a giver; if it wasn't the shirt off his back, it was the last dollar in his wallet. Most of all, Joe loved being with his family. Joe was predeceased by his parents, Joseph Marco Cerillo, in 2013, and his mother, Joan Burns, in August. He is survived by his wife, Lynn Cerillo; two sons, Joseph V. Cerillo and Matthew J. Cerillo, both of Freehold Township; two stepsons, Justin Rhoades and Sean Rhoades, both of Jackson; a sister, Deborah Walck and husband, Craig of Dinghmans Ferry, Pa.; a brother, Patrick J. Cerillo and wife, Traci of Whitehouse Station, N.J.; two half sisters, Gia and Dina; two stepsisters, Kelly and Jill; and numerous nieces and nephews.
