Richard P. Petrillo

Richard P. Petrillo, 72, of Barnegat, NJ passed on Friday, February 6, 2026.

Richard was a beloved father and grandfather whose kindness was felt by everyone who knew him. Quiet by nature, he was always ready with a helping hand and never said no to those who needed him. His family was the center of his world, and he took great pride in being there for them in both life’s big moments and the small, everyday ones.

Richard found joy in life’s simple pleasures. He loved spending time fishing, pouring care into his custom woodwork, collecting special items, and taking peaceful drives up and down Long Beach Island, a place that always felt like home. These moments reflected who he was at heart: patient, thoughtful, and gentle.

He will be remembered not only for what he loved to do, but for the warmth and love he shared so freely. His memory will live on in the hearts of those who were lucky enough to know and love him.
