BONIFAZI, Bernard J. “Bernie” “Moe” – 85, of Cape May and formerly of Trenton passed away peacefully on Sunday, January 4, 2015. Bernie was born and raised in Trenton before moving to Blackwood in 1990, and moved to Cape May in 1994 where he has been a resident since then. He worked for the Public Works Dept. in Trenton for 20 years before retiring in 1994. Bernie enjoyed all that life had to offer, especially biking, fishing, playing with his favorite dogs Kona and Voodoo, and making friends. He had beautiful blue eyes that lit up any room he walked into and a smile that was as equally inviting. Bernie never met a stranger and treated everyone like a long lost friend. He was one of a kind. Most importantly, Bernie was the most loving husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather, brother, and uncle anyone could ask for. He truly loved his family. Moe is predeceased by his mother, Emma (Marconi) Bonifazi and father, Bernardino Bonifazi, Sr.; five of his siblings, Irene Bonifazi, Viola Enutaro, Helen Mosca, Rose Baranowski and Ed Bonifazi.
