Obituary for Michael G. Giuliano, D.O.

Dr. Michael Gerard Giuliano


On Saturday, April 18, 2020, Dr. Michael Gerard Giuliano, passionate doctor, dedicated husband, and loving father and grandfather, passed away at age 64.

Dr. Giuliano was born on October 18, 1955 in Newark, New Jersey to Dominick and Mildred (Cappetta) Giuliano. He grew up in Belleville, New Jersey and graduated from Belleville High School in 1973. He received his bachelor’s degree from Seton Hall University and his Doctorate of Osteopathic Medicine from the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine in 1981. He had a successful general and geriatrics practice in Nutley, New Jersey serving many generations of families for almost 40 years.

Dr. Giuliano had a passion for all things physics and voraciously read all books he could find from Einstein to Degrasse Tyson. For those visiting his office, it was hard to miss his love for Charles Schulz evidenced by his extensive Peanuts collection. He will be remembered for his quirky sense of humor, passion for medicine, and compassionate spirit.

Dr. Giuliano was preceded in death by his father, Dominick, and his mother, Mildred. He is survived by his wife, Marylu (Olivo Silfies); his five children, MaryJane Silfies Whyte (Tim), SallyAnn Silfies, Danielle Giuliano Massey (Scott), Michael (Harrison Ashton), and Olivia; his grandchildren, Thomas and Olivia Whyte, and Derek and Christian Massey; his brothers Dominic and Kenneth, and many cousins.
