Update 7/8: FINALLY! We got confirmation from the venue (Albany Distillery Company - Bar and Bottle Shop) for a celebration of Jonny’s life on July 20th from noon until 4:00 (75 Livingston Ave. Albany, NY). We will be publishing an obituary for Jonny that will also include these details. To help organize the event and measure attendance, please take a minute to complete this survey:

Update 7/5: Sorry for radio silence here. The original options fell through, and it’s been tough to get responses from other venues. Aiming for July 20th, but the details are not finalized.

Update 6/25: The celebration date has not been set. Sorry for confusion. We are trying to figure details now - but July 9th is Jonny’s BDay and the last day to donate.

We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of Jonny Puglia, a cherished friend, and family member whose life left an indelible mark on everyone who knew him. Although Jonny grew up on Long Island, it was Albany, NY, that he called home. It is here that we wish to honor his memory with a Remembrance Ceremony, gathering with loved ones to celebrate the life of a remarkable individual.

To make this event possible, we are reaching out to friends, family, and the community for support. The funds raised will be used to organize a meaningful ceremony in Albany, NY. While the exact location will be confirmed soon, your generous contributions will ensure that Jonny’s life is celebrated in the way he deserves.

Any amount you can contribute will be greatly appreciated. In the spirit of Jonny’s generosity and the causes he cared deeply about, any additional funds beyond the ceremony costs will be donated to an organization that Jonny held close to his heart.

We thank you in advance for your support and kindness during this difficult time. Your contributions will help us honor Jonny’s memory in a way that reflects the love and warmth he shared with all of us.

Together, let us celebrate Jonny’s life and ensure his legacy continues to inspire.

6/22 UPDATE:

We made it to our initial goal! But no need to slow down. Additional donations will continue to be used for commemorative services and supporting not-for-profits in Jonny’s name.

Celebration date is TBD. Targeting July 12th or 19th. Will know more tomorrow.
