Clement Fumando: Mr.
Wonderful
Clement
Fumando met his future wife in the schoolyard when they
were 13. They were married almost 39 years; his memorial
service was on their anniversary, Sept. 30.
"We lived a very simple life, shopping and staying
near home; that was it," Katherine Fumando said. "It was
not going to sell a book, you know what I'm saying? But
it was our life and we were so happy with it. It was
perfect for us, because we both enjoyed each other so
much. We had a very, very unique marriage. Like anybody
could say you had a good marriage. We had a great one.
Everything was great about it. He was just a wonderful
person, thoughtful, and he never ever had a hard word for
me. He was just a good man."
Mr. Fumando, 59, was an operations officer at Cantor
Fitzgerald. He liked to bowl with his son, Stephen, 30,
go to car shows and the Englishtown Raceway with his
other son, Gregory, 36, and shop with his granddaughter,
Brittany, 8. "She could call him up at the drop of a
button," Mrs. Fumando said. "She loved junk stores,
that's what he did with her, 99 cents stores."
"Whatever needed to be done," she said, "he did
it."
