Born in Belleville, NJ and grew up in Union.  He graduated from Roselle Catholic High School and attended Caldwell College.  He was a member of ILA/Local I, employed as a checker at Maher Terminals, Port Elizabeth.

Carmine enjoyed tailgating with his family and friends, attending NY Giant games; an avid fan of the NY Knicks  and NY Yankees. An exceptional soccer and baseball player through his school years and achieving a brown belt in Karate. Summers spent on LBI were most memorable while fishing/crabbing with his dad. But above all things in life, his greatest and most dearest treasures were his family (especially his sister), friends, and God. His enthusiasm for people and deep sense of compassion was contagious, as evident by his love and tremendous generosity. His strong will and selflessness will be missed by all. Carmine’s infectious smile and “heart of gold” will be forever imprinted in our hearts.  He was a humble gentleman. His presence in our life is a gift we will always be thankful for.  Surely there will never be another Carmine.

He is survived by his loving parents Carmine and Augusta Collucci, cherished brother of Gina Collucci and grandson of Antoinette Collucci, as well as numerous Aunts, Uncles and Cousins. Carmine was pre deceased by his maternal grandparents Carmine and Maria D’Egidio and his paternal grandfather Carmine Collucci.
