Obituary of Philip Falzarano

         "You can always tell where a beautiful soul has been by the tears and the smiles left behind."

Philip Falzarano passed away peacefully on July 24, 2018.  He shared 58 years of love and adventure with all who were fortunate to know him.  Friends and relatives may visit on Sunday July 29^th from 1-5 pm at the Norman Dean Home For Services in Denville. A prayer service will be held at 4:30 that afternoon, followed by the sharing of memories.

Phil was born in 1959 to the late Philip & Martha Falzarano of Nutley. He graduated from Rutgers with an undergraduate degree in Chemistry and went on to earn a doctorate of Chiropractic from Sherman College.  Phil was passionate about his work and many of his patients became lifelong friends. He ran a successful practice, Ridge Chiropractic in North Arlington, for 30 years. 

When he wasn’t working, Phil enjoyed traveling.  He loved finding new places and seeing the world. At one point, he lived in Italy with a host family and while there discovered cooking, which become his passion.  He also loved outdoor activities, especially hiking and skiing.

Recently, he and his partner of 31 years, Ken Cunningham, dreamed of retiring to Spain.  They had traveled there and found it to be welcoming and beautiful.

Phil leaves a lifetime of amazing memories to Ken; brothers Pat (Carol) and David (Eva); and many dear friends, patients and extended family. In addition to his parents, he is predeceased by a sister, Marie, and a brother, Joseph.
