Alan F. Traino, of New Jersey, passed away on Sunday, December 30, 2018. Born in Oct. 23, 1958 and raised in Paterson, but had lived most of his life in Hawthorne and North Haledon.
He was an optician and the owner and operator of S. Pollack Opticians in Hawthorne and had also been a partner in Lunt Solar Systems in Arizona. A member of the National Speleological Society, twelve-year trustee of the Northeastern Cave Conservancy and recipient of the prestigious Astronomical League Award, Alan's love of the outdoors ranged from cave exploration and mountaineering to the observation of solar flares and discovery of an asteroid (30097Traino). He was also an Adirondack Forty-Sixer (#3203). Alan was the beloved father of Jessalyn Traino and Evan Traino. Loving son of John and Caroline (nee: Villani) Traino of Hawthorne. Dear brother of Mary Jo Monteleone and her husband Renato of Hawthorne, Carol-Marie Fleming and her husband John, and the late John Traino, Jr. (1990). He is also survived by several nieces and nephews and his former wife Christine Delaney. I am assuming the Facebook link below was his: https://www.facebook.com/alan.traino
