Alfred Ayoub, DDS, a long-time resident of Wayne, New Jersey and recent resident of Lutz, Florida, passed away on November 3, 2010.  He was 87 years old.  Born in Passaic, New Jersey to Anthony Ayoub and Sadie Shahadi Ayoub, and brother to Louis, Marie and Theodore.  

Alfred graduated Passaic High School in 1941, and attended Paterson State Teachers College until entering the V12 Navy College Training Program at Drew University in 1943.  He was a commissioned officer in the United States Navy, achieving the rank of Lieutenant Junior Grade, and served on a minesweeper in the Pacific Ocean.  In 1946, he was honorably discharged.  Shortly following his discharge, Alfred returned to Drew, where he met his future wife, Elaine Ornstein Ayoub, and graduated in 1948 with a B.S. in Chemistry.    

Subsequent to his undergraduate studies, he was accepted into the Temple University School of Dentistry and received his DDS degree in 1952, followed by a Orthodontic Post Graduate degree from New York University in 1961.  He practiced dentistry for 52 years in Pompton Lakes, New Jersey, retiring at the age of 81.    

Alfred was an enduring member of the Wayne Presbyterian Church, having served in several leadership roles. He enjoyed golf, bridge, traveling and, most importantly, gathering with family and friends.

Education played a major role in his life, and he was forever grateful for the GI Bill that enabled his career path.  Consequently, he was a strong proponent in the value of higher education, and encouraged his children and grandchildren to pursue academics.  

He was predeceased by his wife, Elaine, after 54 years of marriage, and is survived by his son Richard and wife Sonia of Lutz, Florida, son Christopher and wife Jacqueline of Land O' Lakes, Florida and daughter Wendy Shadpour and husband Frank of Escondido, California.  He is the proud grandfather of Laura, Alfred, Michael and Jacob Ayoub, Jillian Ayoub Antinore, and Steven, David and Michelle Shadpour. He will be greatly missed by all those who loved him and whose lives he touched.

As expressions of sympathy and in lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Alfred’s memory to the Wayne Presbyterian Church, 1200 Alps Road, Wayne, NJ 07470.
