From his obituary:
Joseph L. Fiordaliso, President of the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities; proud husband, father and grandfather; friend and mentor to so many; and one of the longest serving members of New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy’s cabinet; has died. He was 78.
Fiordaliso was born in the Ironbound neighborhood of Newark, the youngest son of Angelo and Rose Fiordaliso whose families immigrated to the United States from Italy at the dawn of the 20th century. Fiordaliso, who grew up in a crowded three-story cold-water flat on Fleming Avenue, learned his devotion to family from his doting mother Rose and his work ethic from Angelo who worked factory jobs to support his family.
Joe developed his appreciation for public service at Newark’s East Side High School, where he was elected Student Council President. Joe had a front row seat for President John F. Kennedy’s Columbus Day speech at Newark City Hall in October 1962. Watching the dynamic young President fueled Joe’s interest in public service and the vivid memory is one he shared throughout his life.
