Carmen Puglio's Memorial Service
On August 1, 2021, we lost Carmen Puglio, a man of simple means and a big heart. Carmen grew up and lived most of his life in Maplewood, New Jersey. For over 30 years, he was the owner and head trainer of the “The House of Empty Hands” Karate School in Maplewood. In addition to training his students at his school, he actively trained at the YMCA, including the YMCA of Maplewood, Springfield, and Summit. For those of you who knew Carmen, you will know and always remember his dynamic personality and his beautiful laugh. Carmen will truly be missed by many.
Carmen is survived by his two young daughters, Lisa and Kara. Lisa and Kara sadly lost their mother in June 2019. Now having to lay to rest their second parent, we are asking for your help to support these young women as they grieve the loss of their father. All funds will go directly to Lisa and Kara to assist with expenses, including funeral costs. Thank you for any donation you are able to contribute.
The fund organizer is Domenica Santora, lifelong friend of Carmen and his family. Permissions have been received from Carmen’s family to raise funds on behalf of his two young daughters. All funds will go directly to his daughters to assist with expenses.
