Dear Emerson Chamber Members and Borough Residents,
It is with deep sadness that we share the passing of Michael J. Galasso. He was a lifelong resident of Emerson, NJ, from 1961 to 2017, and a dedicated community-minded entrepreneur who owned several local businesses.
Michael devoted countless years of service to our community. He was a lifelong member of NJ State PBA Local 206 and played an instrumental role in operating the Pascack Valley Police Vest Fund, helping provide bulletproof vests for local law enforcement officers. He was also a lifelong member and Past President of the Emerson Volunteer Ambulance Corps.
The Emerson Chamber owes Michael a tremendous debt of gratitude as one of our founders and a Past President. His commitment to Emerson, his leadership, and his generosity will be remembered by all who had the privilege of knowing him.
