Jose Lino

Jose Lino, 73, passed away in New Jersey on May 8, 2026.

Born in Portugal, Jose later immigrated to the United States, bringing with him a strong work ethic, and a resilient spirit. He spent many dedicated years working in construction, where his hard work and skilled hands helped build the communities around him. He was a man who took great pride in an honest day’s labor.

Jose wasn’t one for a soft or warm exterior—he was a feisty man who spoke his mind, stood his ground, and brought a unique spark. He was a man who knew exactly who he was and never apologized for it, leaving behind a presence that won’t soon be forgotten.

He is survived by children and grandchildren who will miss him deeply but carry his memory in their hearts forever.

He was laid to rest in his adopted home of New Jersey.

The Finegan Funeral Homes of Phillipsburg & Alpha coordinated services.
