Alfred Manganiello, 100, of Monroe Twp. died on Monday September 17, 2018 at Penn Medicine Princeton Medical Center in Plainsboro.  Alfred was born and raised in the Belmont section of the Bronx and moved to the Castle Hill section in 1963 where he lived until moving to Monroe Twp. in 2000.  Alfred proudly served his country in the US Army during WWII in the Pacific Theater.  Alfred was a letter carrier for the US Postal Service for 37 years, retiring in 1979.  While working for the Postal Service, he also had a part time job at A&P in the Bronx where he continued working after retirement.  He was a parishioner of Our Lady of Mt.
