Dr. Allan DeGiulio, 85, passed away peacefully at home surrounded by his five beloved children and his wife of sixty-one years, Elizabeth, on Saturday, July 2nd, 2022. Allan grew up in foster care, and at age 17 joined the US Army serving in the 82nd and 101st Airborne Divisions. He went on to earn a BA from Hunter College, a MA from Rutgers University, and a PhD from New York University. He was a professor, college president, and non-profit community leader.
For the last 30 years, Allan served the underserved at Greater Bergen Community Action; work that he was most proud of. He dearly loved his five children, nine grandchildren, and three great grandchildren. Allan loved to travel, but he never traveled alone; he was accompanied by his grandchildren on every adventure. Growing up in the Bronx, he developed a love for the NY Yankees that continued until the end of his life.
A celebration of his life will be held at the New Brunswick Performing Arts Center on July 22nd at 10:30am. The family is establishing an educational scholarship in his name for a young person who has spent time in the foster care system. Many heartfelt thanks to Sea Bright EMS and Sea Bright Police for bringing him home from the hospital on his final day. Thompson Memorial Home, Red Bank, NJ, has been entrusted with the arrangements.
