Adolph Joseph Zeglen age 83 of Wayne, died peacefully on Tuesday, December 18, 2007.
He was born in Mahanoy City, PA and lived in Paterson, Hawthorne and Haledon before moving to Wayne over fifty years ago.
Joseph graduated from St. Stephens Parochial School, Paterson and went on to Passaic County Technical High School, which was then located in Paterson, where he graduated with the class of 1942.
Joseph was a self-employed electrician trading as AJ Zeglen of Wayne for over sixty years. He could be found working day, night, and even when he was sick. Not only did his work support the family but he enjoyed it so much it was considered his hobby as well. Having never retired his skills and passion for work he could be found lovingly plying his trade for his family. He passed his strong work ethic on to his son Craig who initially helped his dad and now does electrical work as an avocation.
Joseph’s work took him to a silk mill in Paterson where he met, his then to be wife, Dolores Cerruti. He was smitten by the lovely receptionist, and she by him, having married nine months later. They enjoyed sixty-one years of wonderful marriage together.
Later in life Joe fell in love once again, but this time it was with his grandchildren. They were the light of his life, he found great comfort and pride in their many accomplishments. He could often be found at their sporting events and school activities; once he became ill he took great comfort in hearing about their endeavors from his family.
Joseph is the beloved father of Denise Ullrich of Barnegat and Craig Zeglen and his wife Cynthia of Oak Ridge; he is the cherished grandfather of Keira, Adam and Jared Ullrich, Kyle and Craig Zeglen; he is the loving brother of Stasia Schwarz, Antonette Weiss, David and Ferdinan Zeglen.
