Glenn Joseph Conte

Glenn Joseph Conte, 66, of Hackettstown, NJ, passed away peacefully, surrounded by his family on November 12, 2026.

He was born on July 21, 1960, in Teaneck, NJ, to the late Rina Palazzo (nee; Laurencich). He attended East Side High School in Paterson, NJ, and married the love of his life, Patricia Anne (nee; Struck), in 1982. Together, they raised two daughters and eventually settled in Hackettstown, NJ, in 2009. Glenn worked as a quality control inspector for AIWA for 25 years before retiring. Not one to sit still, he returned to work at the Netcong Post Office and officially retired in 2021. Glenn had a keen eye for photography and spent hours taking pictures. You would rarely find him without a camera in his hand. He also had a deep love of gardening and filled his backyard with hundreds of beautiful flowers. In the summers, you could find him at Sandy Hook with a rod in one hand and his camera in the other. However, his greatest joy was spending time with his family, especially his grandchildren. He will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him.

He is survived by his devoted wife of 44 years, Patricia Anne Conte; his loving children, Melissa Conceicao and her husband, William, and Lauren Zygmunt and her husband, Ryan; as well as his adored grandchildren, Eve and Cole Conceicao, and Michael Zygmunt.
