PAULINO, John A. Jr. – 48, of New York City, NY and Cape May, NJ passed away on March 9th, 2017. Born in Summit, NJ, John lived most of his life in New York City while enjoying as much time as he could in Cape May. He graduated from St. Francis Xavier High School in New York City and later graduated from Babson College in Boston with a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration. He worked as a manager that recruited, hired and trained IT computer specialists in the New York City area. To describe John’s personality with words one would only fall short. It was the way he made you feel when you were with him that will cause his memory and his light to shine on in all who knew him. John loved to laugh and he loved to cause people to laugh. His gregarious nature caused him to foster many meaningful and cherished friendships during his life. John’s presence and fun-loving spirit were larger than life and filled every room he ever entered. He enjoyed many things in life; cooking, cocktails, the beach, and he had a great love of all music. He sang and danced whenever possible. He was a dedicated fan of the NY Yankees and the NY Giants. Most of all he loved being with his sons, Trey and Ethan, that meant the world to him. John will always be the proud and loving father of John A. Paulino, III “Trey” and Ethan Paulino. Along with his sons, he is also dearly missed and forever loved by his mother, Priscilla Hess; sisters, Dana (and Serge) Metelow and Alison (and Pablo) Lopez; his stepmother, Sylvia Pheister as well as the rest of his family and many dear friends who meant so much to him.
