Bradford S. Florentine

"B-Rad "

Someone go get me a beer football is on. Who should I place a bet on today, better yet whose taking me to place my bets? My team isn't playing today because Kyle Shanahan didn't see all of my facebook posts on what plays we should've done, maybe to win one in a while. I could've been the 49ers coach and won the whole thing, I know it.

Where's my mom and monkfish? They're not answering my calls or texts that I've tried 10 times. Must be on the phone with each other, or fish is probably watching her team actually win. Mom is probably drinking wine and eating cheese watching a hallmark movie right now, to think of it.

Chad, if your team wins again because we all know mine won't, just know I'll be showing up to your house for a wrestling match to show you who's really the boss, I know Mr. Perfect Image will be there to tag in if I need it. But who knows, maybe I'll come solo for this one, Keith, you'll probably expect me to take down your Christmas lights off of your house or something afterwards. Renee, get the bell ready along with some of the recipes whipped up that I always ask you for, we're getting ready to rumble and I know my stomach will be rumbling after too.

Cous' you guys are in charge of finding the next concert for all of us to go to, more specifically FUEL. I'll meet you at the liberty or lemon tree or even RTB to figure out all the details with you guys and of course to get a couple drinks and laughs. Tell Justin to come pick me up on the motorcycle I want to show up in style and make an entrance with that black helmet with the purple butterfly on it.

To all my friends, you guys weren't friends, you are my family forever!

A celebration of the life of Brad Florentine will be held on Sunday, January 10, 2021 from 1:00 p.m. until 5:00 p.m. at the Costello-Greiner Funeral Home, 44 Green Street, Woodbridge. (Due to current social distancing rules the funeral home is limited to 50 persons at a time. We'd ask those attending the visitation to respect others and limit the time they spend paying their respects.)

Brad passed away on Monday, January 4, 2021 at his home in the Fords section of Woodbridge Township. He was 40 years old. Born in Edison, he has resided in Iselin for most of his life and Fords.

Predeceased by his father Bartholomew Florentine. He is survived by his mother Susan Cummings Florentine. Children; Teresa Florentine and Lucas Florentine. His brother Chad Florentine, wife Renee and niece and nephew Gianna and Christian Florentine. Uncle; Dennis Florentine, Thomas Cummings. Aunt; Eleanore Florentine, Cousins; Justine Florentine Holloway, Alyssa Florentine and Justin Holloway.

He played football and baseball at a young age leading him to be a HUGE San Francisco 49ers and New York Yankees fan. He was an electrician by trade during the day, but chef at night whipping up anything and everything for all to try.

He had the biggest smile, most contagious laugh and warmest heart that touched so many.

He will be greatly missed and will forever be loved.
