Growing up, I had minimal interactions with Joe Nardi’s family.  I’m not sure why but they had a large family (6 children) and seemed to keep to themselves.  Even though the family lived primarily in Carteret, most of my interaction with them was at weddings and funerals.  I never heard any thing negative. In fact, our interactions were always very cordial and respectful of our common family heritage.  Their family was very talented in terms of music.  Sam Nardi had a great voice, sang in clubs on weekends, and was always asked to sing at weddings.  He also became a Deacon.  Eventually, Sam moved to Stoudsburg, PA and Jennie moved to Colorado and then Arizona.  The other family members stayed in NJ where Joe Nardi lived at the time of his death.
