A Street in Park Ridge Named to Honor James Gandolfini

About this petition

Dear Mayor Terry Maguire and Borough Council, We the undersigned would like to request that a

street in Park Ridge be renamed in honor of the late James Gandolfini. Mr. Gandolfini's achievementshave been an inspiration as well as a source of pride for the residents of Park Ridge and we wish to

express our gratitude for his accomplishments and the friendship he has shown the community with

this gesture. The nation now mourns the loss of James Gandolfini one of the greatest American

actors of his generation, but the people of Park Ridge have lost a son, a brother and a friend. The

street will be a way to remember Mr.Gandolfini, known as Jim to his local friends and classmates,

and to express our pride to all who visit the Borough of Park Ridge Thank you for your kind attention

retired. James Gandolfini was not only a good performer but a good person. He was

very active in charities for New Jersey besides he was very involved with the New Jerseysoilders returning home from combat from Iran, Iraq, and Afghanistan. True New

Jerseryan! A street should be named after him in memory.

childhood home, and high school. We were all very fortunate to grow up in Park Ridge at

during the tumultuous 60s and 70s. Jimmy was product of that community of loving

parents and caring teachers. He represents all of from Park Ridge who positively affect

the lives of others and strive to achieve our personal best, regardless of profession or

fame.

James Gandolfini deserves this tribute - should have happened when he was alive, but

better late than never

Comments: PRHS class of 79 Friends from 5th grade in Eastbook straight through 1979.

Many many memories.

Jimmy and I used to go to DQ for lunch together. He was like a little brother to me.

Always respectful, funny, entertaining. I haven't seen him in years always too busy :-(

Life is really too short. His presence is already greatly missed by all those who knew him.

He really did put Park Ridge on the map so we should honor him but putting him on our

map. Thank You!

Comments: Streets in Park Ridge have been named for people of lesser fame and

contribution than James Gandolfini. Consider the things he has contributed to all of us.

Gandolfini Way or Street or Avenue sounds great to me and mine.

Comments: Montvale is my hometown, the Antonacci's are close friends of mine, and I

am a Rutgers grad too. I would absolutely love to see PR honor one of its most famous

products by naming a street -some stree- after James Gandolfini.
