Martin J. Larghi

Martin J. Larghi passed away peacefully on January 12, 2026, at the age of 86. Born on May 18, 1939, in Fort Lee, New Jersey, Martin lived a full and vibrant life defined by laughter, love, and family. He was the beloved husband of Rachelle (Giunta) Larghi, a devoted father to Nicholas P. Larghi and his wife Mollie, and Erin E. Larghi and her wife Emily, and a constant source of warmth and joy to all who knew him.

A proud Italian American, Martin carried his heritage close to his heart—whether through his love of cooking, his appreciation for good food and fine red wine, or the unmistakable way he gathered people together around a table. His humor, storytelling, and larger-than-life presence could light up any room, and he never missed a chance to share a laugh.

Martin earned his bachelor’s degree from Villanova University and went on to enjoy a successful career as a sales manager with companies including Revlon and AT&T as well as a job developer for The Cookie Place touching the lives of many. True to his character, he approached his work with dedication, drive, and a genuine enjoyment of connecting with people. He also proudly served his country in the U.S. Army as a medic.

Outside of work, Martin found happiness in life’s simple pleasures—tending to his yard, traveling with his wife, fishing, and cheering passionately for the New York Yankees and New York Giants. Above all, he cherished time spent with his family, which he considered his greatest accomplishment and joy.

Martin was preceded in death by his parents, Lucian and Elizabeth (Ciocca) Larghi, and his siblings Camille Larghi and Lou Larghi. He will be remembered for his generosity, his unwavering support, his infectious sense of humor, and the deep love he had for his family. His legacy lives on in the many lives he touched and the countless memories that will forever be cherished.
