JERSEY CITY, NJ — Today, Hudson County Executive Craig Guy released the following statement:
“I am deeply saddened by the passing of Frank J. Gargiulo. Frank was a true gentleman, an educator at heart, and someone who dedicated his life to serving the people of Hudson County and uplifting generations of students as an Assemblyman, Commissioner in North Bergen, and Superintendent of Schools for the Hudson County Schools of Technology.
I had the privilege of serving on the Board with him for more than a decade, and during that time I witnessed firsthand the passion and care he brought to education every single day. He loved his students and faculty deeply, knowing many of them by name. His leadership, vision, and dedication are why High Tech High School, the Frank J. Gargiulo Campus, bears his name and legacy.
Frank was also a mentor and confidant to many, including myself. His wisdom, kindness, and unwavering commitment to public service left a lasting impact on all who knew him. I extend my deepest condolences to his children, Frank, Vincent, Eugenia, and Natalie, his grandchildren, and the entire Gargiulo family during this difficult time. Hudson County has lost a tremendous leader, but his legacy will continue to live on through the countless lives he touched.”
