Lloyd F. Petillo of Manalapan passed away Dec. 26. Born in Newark, the son of John A. and Rose (neé Sacco) Petillo, Lloyd lived in Red Bank and Colts Neck before settling in Manalapan. He was a former owner of Elsie’s Sub Shop in Red Bank and he worked as a realtor for Mack-Morris Realty in Holmdel. He loved life, was loved by many, a “people person” who loved cars, and who especially loved being with family and friends. He will be deeply missed and fondly remembered.

Left to cherish his memory are his two grandchildren, Christopher and Alexis, and his many loving nieces, nephews, grandnieces and grandnephews.
