Francisco Rodriguez Jr., - born and raised in Jersey City, but currently living in Bayonne, passed away unexpectedly on Monday December 16th 2024, he was 60. Francisco worked as a Hudson County Corrections Officer for many years. Francisco then turned his love of motor-biking (where he was often seen cruising around on his Harley through the streets of Bayonne) into a second career as a mechanic, which gave Francisco the opportunity to devote his time to caring for his autistic son, who was Francisco's heart and soul.
